Pros

The pay is ok and I enjoy what I do,

Cons

Like any large company, you are not an exception. You are to fit into their HR mold and accept what you’re given and be thankful. Recently had PTO reduced by a day across the company. Ridiculous.

We value flexible hours and work-life balance along with a competitive salary and benefits. Our 9/80 schedule is part of that. And we continue to evaluate how we do things, make changes to streamline processes and review benefits to ensure our teams are taken care of.

Pros

Hybrid, good work life balance

Cons

The organization is suffering from a disparity between an aging and shrinking senior engineer team and the upcoming younger talent who aren’t trained well. Productivity is fairly low and pretty much all non trivial tasks always require senior supervision/guidance. While most employees are not contract based, the organization is. And it is getting increasingly difficult to land contracts due to the technology, tools and languages used being outdated compared to industry. So you are indirectly a contract worker. The lack of contracts is reflected in the wages, as they are well below industry standards. Base wages are low, the typical percentage bonus pay based on performance/company performance doesn’t exist here, and the pension is poor too. Keep applying elsewhere.
