Pros

Salary, training resources, PA campus A lot of smart engineer

Cons

- Political environment is destroying the company, leadership promote their friends - Benefits changes, company switch from Aetna to UHC to save money and seriously impacting the employees and families. HR doesn't do anything to help, just exist for administrative works - The EPIC2 values pushed by high executives, doesn't reflect the reality on the management level. This is a serious issue across the all BUs

Pros

You can be remote occasionally

Cons

There is ABSOLUTELY NO work life balance. You have a great group of SVP’s and above. The MOST ARROGANT group of VP’s. There are so many things you can go to HR with in how they treat their employees. I’ve seen different team members reprimanded publicly it’s demoralizing.

Pros

Stock is doing well. Execs get nice bumps of RSUs. New markets being addressed can give them legs for the future.

Cons

Parts of the company have become of one culture. Unfortunately it a culture that leans to misogyny. The Health insurance was ravaged for cost; when I started I couldn’t believe how good it was. When I left I couldn’t believe how bad. Way too much offshoring for cost reasons; Costco model of buying engineers by the pallet.
