Pros

Flexible working schedule.

Respectful workplace.

Overall, working with other engineers is a great experience. You can learn many technical details from different groups.

Cons

The promotion opportunities are minimal, and the managers care more about your length of employment than your contribution to the projects.

Many managers lack technical knowledge, so they cannot provide any insight into the process development. Instead, you need to spend lots of time educating managers.

Due to frequent changes of higher managers, many duplicate and unnecessary updates are requested from managers.

Advice to Management

Reward people who made a contribution, not the people who stay longer in the company.

When you have no idea about the project, don't pretend that you understand it and provide opinions that slow down or derail the project.
