      Strong pay and benefits, but poor work culture

      Systems engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay and benefits (health care, hybrid, pto, maternity/paternity leave)

      Cons

      Work life balance is bad, constant lay-offs, work culture has been destroyed by layoffs and bad decision making by SLT. Movement and promotions were stifled by constant suffling.

      Valuable learning opportunities hindered by poor management structure

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I was able to learn some interesting things in robotics, computer vision, etc. These jobs can be hard to come by, so it was a nice entry point. Plenty of chances to prove your worth, considering the incompetence of some of the managers and leads (but dont expect to be paid for the effort, you gotta show the effort first and you *might* get an early promotion)

      Cons

      Layoffs are frequent and nonsensical. Absolutely no warning that it will happen, you just wake up one day with the meeting on your calendar. Pay is OK. After being laid off late May, I found a job in a month or two that paid more (150k base -> 180k base) The things I learned were almost entirely self taught. Leads and management provided zero structure. They didnt use jira at all. They didnt write up business requirements for projects. Leads didnt create technical requirements. Milestones were vague. Everything was completely unorganized due to the inexperience of upper management and engineering leadership.
