      Disaster in progress

      Engineering manager

      Pros

      Good compensation. Focused on trying to make this tight industry work. The workload is pretty light. Bonus is great as long as the bar has been passed.

      Cons

      No meritocracy, insular culture on both the legacy sides. Tops down decision making leaves no room for innovation let alone incremental improvement. Leaders think they know everything.

      YMMV depending on manager

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Flexibility of advancement - Great co-workers - Friendly older engineers that are open to mentor younger engineers

      Cons

      - Experience at the company really depends on Managers - Advancement also depends on the managers, I was promised a promotion was on the horizon for two years that never materialized but a co-worked was promoted twice in the same time frame. - Nepotism is so strong at this company it is un-real. I saw a engineer get hired in because he was dating the bosses daughter. I also saw preferential promotions over actual performance because the person being promoted wife was besties with the manager.
