Pros

I hardly see one. I would say people and other engineers I have collaborated with.

Cons

Toxic environment. One of the company’s values is 'remember the human,' but they have already forgotten it. They only care about the company reaching its annual goals, regardless of how it may affect employees.

They expect you to be available at all times, even during the weekends. Management keeps changing direction; one day they say something, the next day they say otherwise. They are downgrading benefits and perks. When I joined the company, we had better perks. For example, they used to regularly send gifts to employees to keep us motivated, but not anymore because they only care about reaching the company’s goals.

We used to have 10 days off as part of the TGIF program, but now we only have 5. People are leaving the company; they hired 15 employees because 30 left that month. They recently changed the RTO policy, and people hired for remote positions are also forced to go to the office three days a week. My advice: run away from this company. There are better options out there.
