Does not value diversity

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

None at all. Benefits are okay. There is minimal work life balance. Employee resource groups are good ways to network and meet people. Coworkers are friendly and nice. Corporate office is decent, with a gym and cafeteria.

Cons

None at all. Employer does not value diversity of opinions, ideas or ways of work working. Workforce is older, and slow to change. Millenials are cast aside and not given a voice. Minorities are marginalized, and it feels like the South from the 1960's. Culture is very formal, and staff only interact with direct managers, not those higher up. Workers are supposed to be in the office all day, keep their head down, do the work, and "punch out." Telecommuting or flexible work formats are not offered nor encouraged. training opportunities are very minimal.

Great company, stable job, political, etc in other words BIG COMPANY

Senior engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

Great company to work with. Benefits are really good and the atmosphere is excellent in terms of sharing information if you like OJT (on the job training). Many opportunities to learn from more seasoned employees. Workload is very light, some weeks it will be hectic but most of time you can get the work done easily. Many groups and companies so if you want to swap jobs it's easy because you are in the same company

Cons

Very hard for technical leaders to get paid evenly with management leaders. Unfortunately, if you are in it for management you will have a lot of opportunities, but if you are in it to be technical guru then you can be there 50 years (be a technical guru) and get paid less than a supervisor/manager who has been there for 6-15. Too many people with big jobs and no real knowledge (job hoppers) yet they are "essential"
