Learning Experience - Very smart coworkers - Frustrating Environment
Pros
- Great pastoral setting in Deer Creek with horses all around - Free cereal / soda - Smart and fun coworkers - lots of trips planned outside of work, hanging out, and exercising together - Oftentimes can get a lot of responsibility if you seek it - Opportunities to pick up many new skills if you are self motivated
Cons
- very difficult to switch groups, internal mobility is low - effective mentorship / growth opportunities are nonexistent for junior engineers. A lot of engineering is done "on the fly" by inexperienced people - decisions from executive management often seem arbitrary and designed for short term stock goals as opposed to long term strategy - tendency to hire overqualified people for mundane tasks, not follow through on promises made during recruitment, and then fire those who get pigeon holed into working on things well below their pay grade
