Good company with a few frustrions

Senior software engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

Corporate culture is healthy and positive. Positive management. Good work life balance. Opportunities to try new technologies.

Cons

Bad tendency to try have a 20 person meeting as the solution to any problem. The way everybody is divided into semi-autonomous teams can make it hard to do anything big. Some infrastructure is old and frustrating to deal with.

Good discounts. Poor everything else.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Parts discounts are great! - I’ve had nothing but good coworkers! Making lots of friends and memories. - No worry of unemployment bc they are in constant need of employees

Cons

- As a female, with both knowledge and real world experience, I worked my butt off for two years to get to RSS and got minimal raises (thinking it was normal). To find out every new and former male coworker of mine (many with zero knowledge or relevant experience) we’re starting out being paid .50-$1 more than me after two years of raises. - When confronting management about low and unequal pay, just looking for an answer, I was only met with “you aren’t supposed to discuss pay.” - My direct managers were great people. Management above them beginning with our DM micromanage and talk in circles if you confront them with issues. - Management does not recognize you for the good you do and extra hours you put in to help the company.
