Pros

I found PACCAR employees to be extremely friendly and helpful. They have a great sense of balance between life at work and life at home, and the setting is very comfortable. Great people. They are extremely supportive of interns.

Cons

While everyone is nice and friendly, not too many people seem all that happy. People seemed bored; maybe that was just me. Except for management, it didn't seem like there was much room for career advancement, and some employees seemed under appreciated as there was not much incentive to work hard or much of a reward if one did. While not explicitly stating it, a handful of employees tried to tell me not to work there full time.

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.
