Pros

Good people, impactful work. No shortage of ambitious projects for those looking for a challenge.

Cons

Culture has declined drastically in recent years. The leaders making timeline commitments are siloed from the actual work, leaving engineers to burn out trying to meet unrealistic deadlines with minimal structural support. Extremely meeting heavy, with discussions often favoring harmony over honesty. Non-existent work/life balance.

Pros

• Generally work with fantastic people. • Work is not difficult, and time flies when busy. • My bosses collaborated with me to create a schedule that worked, as I often had other commitments. • Overall, a pleasant work experience most days. Get good at what you do and you'll do fine.

Cons

• Some of the senior management was less friendly than others - as to be expected. • Days were very volatile; some could be extremely easy, and others could be a nightmare. • Scheduling was kept rather limited; although I was able to get the hours I wanted, often times management would look to cut hours from departments whenever possible, leaving less support.
