Pros

Good Engineering Team Lot to learn, and lot to do A good chance to work on different types of projects

Cons

Bad managers with very less technical inclination Projects fail all the time but nothing is done to change, or do things differently A failure never results in better practices, or a change in methodology. Top management too conservative Pay is probably the lowest in the industry

Pros

The company offers good pay and benefits. I also had the chance to work with many capable and supportive peers at the same level, which made the day-to-day work more manageable.

Cons

The work environment can feel highly political. The system tends to encourage people to compete or protect themselves instead of collaborating and helping each other succeed. This often creates unnecessary tension between teams and individuals. Local management also needs significant improvement. Instead of helping remove roadblocks and making the work more efficient, they often add extra processes, tasks, and requirements that do not always contribute to the real goal: improving quality and getting meaningful work done. There is a lot of focus on activities that look good on paper, but not enough support for the actual work needed to ensure quality and execution.
