Challenging Work Environment with Poor Leadership and Low Morale
Pros
They pay okay salary-wise Some perks like free food depending on location and team. R&D has the most perks. Coworkers are pleasant to be around for the majority of cases. Good work-life balance depending on your team.
Cons
Some of the worst management and culture you will see in your life. Meetings are often just interrogations and looking for who to blame. A lot of the high level managers have no care for the employees or development, set unreasonable requests and deadlines, and the work politics for a small company is horrendous. Universal dislike of upper management, certain VPs are just mean. Turnover in Texas has been terribly high. People often fired without notice and several have quit on the spot. Little career advancement opportunities, rarely any recognition or reward for going beyond. Meaningless work, you will be hard pressed to do any real engineering due to firefighting and lack of resources. Some employees do not carry their weight, and there is extremely low morale on the mfg side which is being ignored.
