Pros

Pay ranges is pretty competitive. A lot of hands on learning. Dynamic work, from righting reports, to running engineering tests.

Cons

Management is not the best in other key areas, therefore workload could be high and sometimes repetitive due to lack of technical knowledge and expertise in the other areas a lot of pressure on a few departments.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
