Pros

- Great mission - Cool problems - Great growth trajectory - Good benefits

Cons

- Very political work environment. People constantly undercut other's work, poach people from other teams, and in general just don't want to work together - The technical bar has gone down over the years - Lack of investment in modern software technology like ML - There have been random firing without warnings or real feedback - Over the years employees have gotten less engaged with the mission of the company and haven't felt motivated to work as much

Pros

Competitive pay and benefits. Extremely talented workforce. Exposure to advanced manufacturing technologies. Fast-paced environment with meaningful work. Opportunities to learn like you wouldn't believe.

Cons

Heavy reliance on tribal knowledge in some areas. Documentation and standardized work instructions can be limited. Some processes depend on experienced employees rather than formal SOPs and travelers. Learning curve can be steep for new hires.

Pros

Great pay for the most part, and the engineers are awesome.

Cons

When something is too good to be true, it’s too good to be true for a reason. I would not accept this job on contract unless you are unemployed, don’t consider it if you are employed. The company is growing and having leadership level changes in the TA realm and boy you can tell. Your job is NOT safe on contract and is not a guarantee to go even 6 months. Everyone is extremely lax and chill on the interviews and the pay is great isn’t it?? Well that’s alll a facade, no matter if you’re doing well or not.
