Vantaggi
Steady pay. Relatively easy work. Decent life/work balance. Company used to pay towards continued education. Employees who have been around for a long time take care of new comers. Executive management works hard on lowering the debt inherited from previous regimes.
Svantaggi
Diminishing benefits year after year (profit sharing is gone, insignificant bonuses, RSUs are gone, medical cost increasing, 401K matching is subpar, etc) Huge/static company with little growth. You can work your bottoms off and not get anything to show for it. HR is often an obstacle and not a tool. Not enough diversity despite all the mandatory training and seminars offered to employees. Vast majority of senior executives are white men. No accountability enforced by managers (employees under utilized and often disengaged). Went from being one of the top employers in the region to being the joke around town. Salaries are not competitive and don’t keep up with cost of living. Top heavy and senior management is more concerned with maintaining status quo/ collecting their paychecks than growing the company. Most of engineering is either outsourced or is in the process of being outsourced. Every company in this industry produces the same products and offers same services.
