Pros

Casual dress is about it. If your an electrical engineer this is a great place to start, but other than that I would not recommend it as a place to start your career.

Cons

9/80 work schedule, which seems fair but it really limits your overtime. They'll use it as a selling point, but its much better just to have flex time. The people overall are not top of the line either.

Pros

My pros are my manager and team coworkers. Outside of that not really a fan. I do well at what I do.

Cons

Honestly, ever since new management has come for the upper VPs and directors, a lot has shifted for the negative. Feels very micromanaging when we were told we were doing fine at home and there was no reason to have us come back in the office. Now suddenly we’re being forced back to the office. Other departments and I don’t really get along because there’s a bunch of petty people just trying to get others in trouble and all I’m doing is trying to do my job. Where I am at, everyone just talks all day and then complains about how much work they have.
