Vantaggi
They allow you to work from home. They are salary plus, so if you are salaried you still get over time (keep in mind this isn't time and a half, it is your equivalent hourly rate)
Svantaggi
Management needs a lot of improvement - you'll have many bosses who don't communicate to each other so direction gets muddied, they only reach out to you when something negative happens, and aren't invested in your advancement, success or satisfaction. The work load is profound, they are aware, but 'nothing can be done'. This leads to the necessity of overtime. Their pay is extremely low compared to the market and you have to drive your merit/inflation raises. The design specialist/design engineer role are equivalent and the difference is the opportunities that might open in the future. This place is very 'churn and burn' in terms of how it treats and trains employees. The onboarding process is thorough but not relevant to the design specialist/engineer role at all (outside of one manual quiz) and from there the culture is 'if you don't know something, ask'. Which is great but new employees don't know what all they don't know at that point, and some employees and/or management will guilt you a bit about not knowing. Most of these things can be seen within your first two weeks.
