Pros

Free Coffee 9/80 work week great co-workers

Cons

-Asked to attend all-hands, Town Halls, etc for no pay ALL THE TIME . They call it flex-time but it means you have to make up the time you attend -No training on anything. Not even for interns. -No perks i.e. gym memberships and the gym on site is small. Doesn't even have a treadmill. just weights -The locker room is moldy. So gross! -Corp. Culture is designed to show the average worker how little they matter. We had someone die and there was no announcement....the company wouldn't' even spend the money for flowers. We had to ask for donations.

Pros

They have Friday’s off every other week and that’s about it. There are okay 401k benefits with company matching. Not much else.

Cons

Anyone not an engineer is severely underpaid. You have to wait 3 years to even be considered in moving up in a pay grade. This means there is no incentive to meet the objective requirements and gain the necessary skills because you’re up against time. They don’t listen to employees feedback. In fact, in the employee survey that is taken every year my manager got the results, reviewed them with us, and then told us to come up with plans to solve them. I would advise any non-engineer to steer clear of this campus. Not a good place to build a career by any means.

Pros

Good pay. Job security.

Cons

-Medical ins. is very lacking. Expect to pay a lot out of pocket. -A lot of people have to work 6 day work weeks continuously. -No sick time allotted. It comes out of PTO so people tend to come in when they are sick. -You will most likely not get to write software. -If you get to do software, which is a BIG if, management cares more about lines of code and number of issues fixed rather than the quality of the product. -You will most likely not get to write software (this needs to be said twice). -Management will likely retaliate or ignore you if you say anything, leaving you hopeless. -A lot of people are upset, leaving this campus with a very negative air about it -Very poor planning and scheduling. -There is a lot of fighting about how to do things because everyone wants to be the idea person; often the highest manager makes decisions based on their own personal opinion. -I have heard managers yelling and being aggressive towards employees multiple times. -Performance reviews are a joke. They give reviews based on a curve rather than on actual performance. That means you could be a top performer, but not get the rating because they didn't have any more "slots" open for top performers. -No telecommuting. I get that in some situation you can't but it still is a con as a lot of employers offer at least some degree of telecommuting.
