Pros

High base pay, but zero to low increment and pathetic bonus.

Cons

- Bonus counted in weeks and days. - You have zero control of your work. Zero autonomy. - Engineering work used to be done by local team, but now it is outsourced to a certain country. - For every project you handle, there are at least 5 directors who will think you are a imbecile for what you are doing. - Every quarter there will be restructuring and movements within the company. Indirectly changing the goal post of your political game. - For every one thing you do, there are 5 internal processes to get approval. - Would always rather hire external employees to become upper management, than to promote existing employees. Probably existing employees are useless to the company.

Pros

Decent base pay and fast paced work makes the days go by quickly. Lately the company has been actually investing in their new product lines ever since Joakim became our CEO.

Cons

The compensation is lacking. No bonuses whatsoever for senior level engineers even when they're recognized as a key contributor on the team. We are given our 401k match on March 1st to cover the previous year's matches so you lose out on a lot of the year's market gains. The healthcare coverage is mediocre at best for a fortune 500 company. The raises are still given like it's 2018; 3% is considered a "good" merit increase. This is due to the "forced distribution" merit increase system where only "so many" people can receives "above expectations" raises.
