Pros

Not many at corporate, the other division of the company were better to work for. The ability to move from division to division was encourage but rarely allowed. If you start at on of the other divsions stay there, do not move to the corp office. the ivory tower is a horible place to work and to exisit. The mgmt in the corp office short of the 6th flr Sr mgmt is out for themselfs. They do not encourage or assist anyone in moving forward. The continual inflow of ex-FORD motors execs and managers has distroyed the company from within. They brought a culture of defeat and distrust to the PACCAR employees, letting no on advace except their buddies

Cons

Way to Stuffy, overly conservative. The dress code is only enforced on the Men, Women can dress how they please and not very professional , men always in Suits and ties, white or blue shirts. any other color other than Dark suits is frowned upon and given snide remarks. the ability to adjust hours is not allowed. it is 8-5 and expectations are you are there at least 30 mins early and 1-2 hours late. you better not get sick or snowed in. you have to take vacation time if you can not get in for weather if the buiding is open you have to be there. no excuses, even if you had 2 feet of snow in your yard or no power you better get there.

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.
