Pros

Had great vision and campus, helpful people and generally fun work atmosphere. Had a lot of fun activities to participate in with fellow co workers such as outdoor clubs and games during lunch and in the evenings.

Cons

business market is falling, poor cad software, poor training of employees on design processes, Required to work 50 hours for a few weeks due to department being understaffed and overworked.

Pros

Great, and I mean great benefits.

Cons

Poor local culture, everybody is in their own clicks and don't deviate from them. Not a huge amount of office friendliness. Not many team building exercises, and qa gets left out of alot. If you're not a developer, you will have a yard time socially. Coffee is the worst I've had at a company ever. Return to office was not handled right, and the wfh policies were written very vague by a local manager, but what they actually wanted was very specific and was not communicated at all(avg of 1 per month over the course of a year). This lead to a problem where I was denied a wfh request to grieve a dead pet because I used wfh 2 weeks earlier to register a new car ( that I got solely for work commute)
