Pros

Steady hours get to work 3days and 3 off and then 4 days then 4 off. Schedule is hard to beat Would have a really hard time going back to a 5 days on 2 days off type of schedule. Pretty much unlimited overtime if you want it. If your expenses go up or you want to make more you can just start doing overtime instead of getting a second job.

Cons

Places barely changes very corporate environment never gives raises to individual employees. Only way to get more pay is to move to a department that pays more. Very backwards way of motivating employees for good work. Place would really benefit from dynamic raises and different ways of advancement. Only way to advance right now is to go into management roles.

Pros

Great coworkers and talented engineers who genuinely support one another. Opportunity to work on impactful projects and solve real business problems. Exposure to modern BI and data technologies. Strong team members who are willing to go above and beyond to deliver results. Good learning opportunities for self-motivated individuals.

Cons

Leadership and management style can create unnecessary stress and turnover risk. Frequent micromanagement and excessive focus on responsiveness rather than outcomes. High meeting volume reduces time available for focused engineering work. Priorities and stakeholder commitments are sometimes established before consulting the engineers responsible for delivery. Limited trust in experienced employees and their ability to manage their own work. Internal growth and mobility can feel restricted. Work-life balance can be impacted by shifting priorities and urgent requests. Lack of recognition or compensation alignment when additional onsite expectations or workload demands are introduced. Having a non-technical BI manager overseeing technical engineering work can sometimes result in unrealistic timelines, misunderstandings of development complexity, and decisions being made without sufficient technical input.
