Pros

-Huge company, so lots of potential room to move around, both in position and geographically -Ability to purchase extra vacation time, which I feel is a big plus -Location in San Diego office is in a residential area, so it's against traffic during any rush hour, which in California is a dream

Cons

Management are often completely useless. The company has dozens of managers who have no clue what they're doing, and are only there because they've managed to stay in one place for 30 years. Random 25 year olds with no experience suddenly show up and are making double what seasoned engineers are making, overtime is basically mandatory, and they regularly lay off people by the dozens. As soon as I find another job I am out of here

Pros

Being able to work from home and avoid Covid, maybe? Also some of my coworkers are good people. Pay is OK, but not as good as at many other companies. I hear upper management make a lot of money though. And there are benefits though not great benefits, and PTO, though it is not popular to actually take time off.

Cons

Management is bad. REALLY bad. They do not communicate properly with people. I know many workers who have been blamed for mistakes in areas they hadn't even worked on. On most projects only a few people are included, the rest isolated in a corner (yes, literally a corner in many cases). You risk being told to stay away from certain areas of the project, then suddenly expected to have enormous knowledge of that particular area. There is no training on anything useful. My manager has told me since I'm salaried I can be expected to work 24/7, and he means that and actually believes people would be more productive if they worked more hours, had no life or interests outside of work, and for some odd reason, did not exercise. Almost everyone I know are looking for jobs somewhere else.

Pros

A paycheck, if you get one. Ever since UTC outsourced payroll with a third party, the whole payroll system is upside down. And they could care less when you get paid.

Cons

Their customer service (also outsourced to a third party) is a maze of tiers. People Services just escalates to departments that don't have the resources to solve your problem and then it keeps going in circles.
