      Pros

      There are some genuinely good people that work here. You won't be stabbed in the back, yelled at, or berated ever. People come together to solve problems and work on really difficult projects.

      Cons

      If you are in your mid career stage and you are looking to make the jump to management, you are out of luck here. Managers tend to get promoted to wherever they feel comfortable and then sit there for 10-20 years, except if the CEO personally likes you - then you have your pick of whatever job you want. Many smart people work their butts off, do all the right things, and then are passed over for promotion or just get tired of waiting around to move up, so they leave. Turnover of smart mid career people is huge because of this. I was there for 5+ years and not once did anyone ask me what my career goals/aspirations were.

      Typical Corporate Job

      Pros

      Occasionally you get some cool projects. Many opportunities to stretch skills. Working on automotive software comes with a unique set of challenges that required a new way of thinking. If you like corporate life, this job's for you!

      Cons

      If you can't stand corporate life, maybe try another job. There is much distrust between the UK and US teams as well as between the Management and staff. I've heard many people express that they feel their work isn't valued. There is way too much duplication of work between the UK and US that is a result of poor communication and lack of trust. Management and upper management are all white and male. It's a tech job so women if you apply, know you will have to fight to be taken seriously.
