Competitive salary and benefits, including a 401(k) with company match and annual HSA contributions.

• Internal mobility is severely restricted—even lateral moves or transfers to other offices are blocked without explanation.
• High turnover among staff, including new hires and experienced engineers, due to burnout and lack of career progression.
• Training and mentorship are virtually non-existent; new recruits are expected to “sink or swim,” leading to serious knowledge gaps.
