Good to start your career, but don't stay there

Pros
  • Money always on time
  • Relaxed work culture
  • Lots of people to help you expand your network and knowledge
Cons
  • Does not pay well in comparison to other companies.
  • Does not offer any meaningful raises. Be careful to negotiate your salary very well during the interview, because that is probably all you will be taking as long as you stay here.
  • Older engineers could very well be making more money than you, even if you are the better engineer and offer more to the team. The company operates very much based on how many years you have been working here.
  • Nepotism.

Because of all the above, great engineers do not stay long. When they leave, they take the know-how with them. Attrition runs rampant, and management knows this but doesn't care. Everyone is expendable to them.

Advice to Management

None, because they will not follow it anyway.
