Pros

People are nice and good work/life balance

Cons

The day to day organization is a disaster with way too much turnover and too much focus on specific financial metrics. It can be nearly impossible to get things done because of all of the turnover and lack of processes. HR parades around all day about how great they are and how much they care, but are no where to be found when you have an issue, including compensation errors. Despite the mediocre internal employee survey results and poor ratings on external sites, the organization continues to lecture employees on how great they are and mansplain away the poor results. Most of HR and many of the managers are professional presentation givers who attend meetings with each other all day to promote themselves while leaving employees with no support. The "most ethical" company claim is a complete farce.

Pros

whelp, their hiring. So if you're looking for an entry level position, they've got them open

Cons

Where do I start? If your goal is to make a tangible impact, change things for the better, or grow a modern career, look elsewhere. Stifling Red Tape: The company is drowning in administrative bloat and ancient, worn-out processes. It is nearly impossible to implement meaningful improvements because every minor change is strangled by bureaucracy. The organization simply lacks the capability to scale effectively. (They still haven't fully implemented Bussman, who they acquired more than a decade ago) Short-Sighted Leadership: Upper management is entirely hyper-focused on hitting short-term quarterly metrics at all costs, completely sacrificing long-term strategy and sustainable operational health. Subpar Compensation & Benefits: The base salary is hardly competitive with the current market. The benefits package is remarkably weak—health insurance options are disappointing, and you start with a meager two weeks of vacation. Zero Performance Incentive: There is no financial upside for regular engineers. Bonus potential is completely locked away until you reach a "manager of managers" level, leaving the actual individual contributors with no skin in the game. If you are a paper-pusher who thrives in a rigid, stagnant environment, you will love it here. If you want to build the future, go somewhere else.
