Pros

Pay checks arrive on time.

Cons

I joined in 2019 and have been there about a year. They will stiff you on salary and job grade if you don't have the right information, and they will lie about the right information. They have both job titles and job grades. The corporate recruiter told me that salary for G08/Senior Engineer I was 90-100k. That was a total lie. Know that job grade G08 (Senior ______ Engineer I) is what they offer to people fresh out of a PhD program with zero years of professional experience. Salary band for G08/Sr I is 75k-130k. Sr II = G09 Principal = G10 Sr Principal = G11 Job requisitions ask for about +2 years of experience for each increase in job grade. PhD ~ 6 years of experience. My previous job grade was also Senior, but at that company, that meant PhD + several years of experience and also a much higher salary. Benefits actually kind of suck. My portion of a doctor's visit fee for a regular yearly check up was over $100. My claim for glasses was denied by VSP even though per my optician, they cover portions of the options I selected. The famous flexibility that they brag about is entirely up to individual managers. Management does not live their values *at all*.

Pros

They give me a paycheck.

Cons

The unnecessary Return-To-Office mandate kills any work life balance, and morale for working here. I feel for those that moved during COVID when they were assured that remote work was "here to stay". I feel for my peers with children that will no longer be able to spend quality time with them, and the extra childcare costs associated with RTO. The hypocrisy of upper management is astounding. They tell us to "Act with Integrity" even though they face 1B in legal fines for (alleged) shady price fixing and bribes. They preach that "Trust" is one of our core values. Yet, they went back on their word that remote work was here to stay.

Pros

There are none at this level. Get it together people. Business ethics is an oxymoron.

Cons

1. Non-transparent wages 2. Discouraged from sharing wage information with other colleagues 3. Company paid a fine but didn't change their practices when it was found that they fixed wages amongst workers who would want to transfer to another division in order to improve their incomes, but apparently couldn't.
