Pros

decent pay package flexible work location many knowledgeable long-timers free to share info with many different folks from across the company (mostly through MS Teams, though)

Cons

Higher-level engineers mostly don't have time for your questions when ramping up, as they're fighting copious fires all the time.

The company's structure seems very old.

Many unfinished internal tools, which don't fully solve your problem, can lead to seemingly minor issues taking a long time to triage and fix.

Culture can be imposing to newcomers, as there are specific ways of doing things that must be learned with little explanation.
