Pros

Best in class technical experts, flexible working environment, good benefits. When the overall product business does well, everyone benefits

Cons

Sales and Billability targets are aggresive despite having very few past projects and customer relationships. High turnover means most employees are taking on extra work to keep projects moving forward. Lack of true leadership and employee culture leaves many employees without a clear vision of what is trying to be achieved. Short term profits take priority over long term growth

Pros

The internship has been a genuinely good mix of research, engineering, and practical software work. I have been giving meaningful technical problems instead of busy work, with enough freedom to explore solutions while still having support from experienced engineers. The team culture is collaborative, thoughtful, and very open to questions. I have learned a lot about power systems, simulation software, high-performance computing, and how research ideas turn into tools that actually support engineering work

Cons

Like many large organizations, some processes can move slowly, especially around software access, approvals, and tooling. It can take time to get the full development environment set up, and working across different systems. That said, most of the issues are structural rather than team-related
