Pros

I had the privilege of befriending some of the most generous and kind hearted people I ever met at PACCAR--they long since retired. I believe Mark Pigott is doing his best to keep the company afloat and moving forward. I don't know too many people who volunteers to decline a bonus that was well over 7 figures.

Cons

Pay is a bit light for the worker bees. Promotions are few and far between but work never stops. There are two kinds of people there--fresh out of college or soon to be retirees. The juniors level staff are too young to know better or they know this it is a good stepping stone job. The soon-to-be retiree level staff are just counting the days waiting to get their pension and move to warmer climate. Lots and lots of gold bricking...

Pros

Wonderful internship experience. I truly enjoyed every aspect of the internship, from the people and team culture to the meaningful projects and great location. It was an incredibly positive learning experience, and I would highly recommend working there.

Cons

While the business professional dress code may not be for everyone, I personally didn’t mind it and felt it contributed to the professional environment.

Pros

Not much, if you want a place that's okay with mediocrity, then welcome.

Cons

They blindly follow industry trends not industry standards. We have an initiative to use AI to increase productivity, without a proper plan, without security in mind and lack of general understanding. Consistently understaffed, for example there are teams or parts if teams that have max 4 developer type roles with 36 apps or APIs to support - this has lead to inconsistent code and effort as employees are spread too thin to be able to deliver quality work. Management refuses to take responsibility for issues that arise from being understaffed. Teams are not consistent in what tools and pipelines are used causing even more confusion and delays. Double standards: they don't want to properly promote or give raises to hard workers. Upper management made it clear to direct managers that "meets expectations" was a fine thing to give... To employees doing more than their fair share of work and are doing work outside of their role since they have no one else to do it do to being understaffed.
