Pros

See the review headline and think of a 100 similar adjectives. INFINITE ZEROS...

Cons

Every single minute I spent here for 4 months was a nightmare. I could not wait to get out of it. I was initially hired for a certain role and then moved to a different group to help them out temporarily. So I was reporting to two different managers and both of them were just horrible, I don't know them on a personal level but they are the most unfit managers I had come across in my career. It was all work and no play. In the 4 months I was there, both of them knew nothing about me other than my name. That's the kind of interaction they maintain with their employees. There was no flexibility. I was treated like an hourly employee even though I was a salaried employee. I was asked to use PTO for leaving a few min. early, even though I told them that I wrote my report from home. They constantly monitored my entry and exit times rather than caring about my performance. There was a stupid pin board and a register, which we had to use to mark entry and exit times. Getting there at 8:30 was considered late and I was asked about how I was going to make up time. I wasn't even an entry level engineer there, I was in a senior position and this was the kind of trust they had in their employees. Way understaffed and I had seen some employees working 9-10 hours every day. Compensation is below par compared to other industries. Another technician also left under mysterious circumstances, while I was there. He also stayed with the company for only about 4-6 months. I was promised work from home after 2-3 months, but when I asked about it, they said I can't do it at the moment. I wasn't allowed to work from home for even an hour. Enough said!

Pros

Great team members. Solid mission to work towards.

Cons

Work life balance, they killed the culture and the senior leadership changes with the wind. Lack of communication across divisions. Strong preference for inclusion for onsite team; remote are left out frequently, intentionally.
