January 31, 2016

Pros: Good compensation. Good benefits. Executive leadership appears to be trying to improve the company. Plenty of great things to do if you can budget your time well enough to do them.

Cons: Senior Engineers are not held to a consistent standard for both hiring and promotions. The engineering tools' systems are a nightmare. If it wasn't built in-house, it will not be used. No opportunity for open-source solutions. Mid-managers are unwilling to fix structural problems. Senior Managers are promoted on their ability to ignore structural problems. Feedback to any leadership is met with hostility and retaliation. Lack of commitment to invest in automation.
