Pros

Cool products, good benefits, stable and secure job.

Cons

Work environment and languages/tools used are out of date. The teams who deliver a software product do not operate like a software company, which is frustrating. They pay software engineers lower than the people who make power points describing what the software does (for some reason this position holds the title Electrical Engineer). And there is virtually no path to management as a software engineer, again only for the power point makers.

Pros

Work-life balance has been great at the Long Beach site. My coworkers are very considerate and supportive. Benefits suck as parental leave and 401k, Roth 401k, and mega backdoor Roth make it so you can really get ahead in terms of retirement building. They are trying to get better in culture and performance rather than some companies that don’t even pretend to care. During the pandemic there was no training. Now there’s some!

Cons

Base pay can be slightly lower than other companies for specific skills. Each site and each organization within each site has its own culture depending on who is the VP/executive team. There are so many executives it’s hard to get things done. Things move very slowly.
