Pros

-Good introduction to basic business practices for recent grads who may not have majored in Business/Marketing. -Wear a variety of different hats. Though you don't delve deeply into any specific business discipline. -If you ever, at some point, want to own your business of any kind it's a solid orientation into what that is like.

Cons

-Extremely disjointed at multiple levels. The Right hand has no idea what the Left hand is doing, nor does it matter or does anyone care. -HR really struggles. Focus should be on hiring young, green, recent college grads. That is NOT the focus. -Bonus structure is... Well it's hard to say what the bonus structure is because it is changed so often with very little explanation. 9 months ago accounting allocations were changed and the processes by which they have been changed have still yet to be explained. Region controllers don't have the answers, or access to reports to find out the answers. -Real Estate will not invest in existing structures. Getting a remodel or a fresh coat of paint is like pulling teeth.

Pros

Great place to work in tandem with other professionals in your trade, always had a feeling of "family" working alongside my peers. We come together when times are tough, this is very rewarding,

Cons

The current economic and geopolitical spectrum have been proving a challenge to this industry as a whole, thankfully we are a resilient outfit with the best people at the helm.

Pros

It is possible to make a difference if you are determined enough. Many engineers work hard and most try.

Cons

The company has a ton of tech debt that it recognized, but is not being addressed. Management controls the time, scope and so quality is falling. The people they have hired lack fundamentals understanding of software development practices. The company often will make decisions to save small amounts of money with their facilities and tools they give to employees without understanding the opportunity cost that was lost. Overtime is required. You can't work here if you want to have a family or keep your family from hating you. Title inflation is real. Many people are actually performing one level down from their stated title and those that are not are only not failing due to putting in crazy hours. Middle management wont stickup for their people to ensure they are not burning out. They see it happening multiple times in front of them and they do nothing.
