Pros

The managers and direct leaders are great, with a strong focus on hiring the right people. Best manager I’ve ever had, with extremely competent coworkers and teammates. People are generally very passionate about the work they do. Good pay overall.

Cons

The company’s corporate leaders leave a bit to be desired with some pretty tone deaf directives at times. Long hours at times, can feel like someone’s passion is taken advantage of.

Pros

It's awesome being close to cutting-edge technology.

Cons

Primary focus is on commercial. Subject to market competition. Competing with wind, solar, and fossil fuel power costs. It's not likely to make anyone rich. Strong focus on working from the office. No new remote workers allowed - confirm via job postings. Before you move, better check rent and home prices to bear on a salary decision - don't let that monthly payment be more than 15% of your income after taxes. Remote working is frowned upon by upper management with strong prejudice. If faced with a need to work from home for a day or two, just take the time off. The judgement really lays a strong groundwork for "workplace theater" as it is sometimes called. A powerful member of senior management has talked several times about selecting individuals at random to interview them to see if they are fully-loaded. Seems like senior management micro-management. Upper management management practices do not appear to be study-derived or informed by clean research but rather from "conclusion shopping" online.
