Vantaggi

Great pay Good benefits Dependable hours Smart people

Svantaggi

Mediocrity and playing the game beat talent everyday You are not allowed to drink coffee at your desk - ever! only on one 15 minute break a day! Management treats people as if they cannot think for themselves Overall, no one is challenged or given the opportunity to improve themselves People get fired for not being "in" with the right people despite their good job performance The company refuses to change its business model from the one it developed in the 70's It is a very high stress position (as you are constantly graded on work statistics, given no exceptions for things like trips to the doctors, sick days home with the children [this WILL show up on your review], and are reprimanded for checking a person email even once a day) Also, the management is condescending and downright nasty to employees.

Vantaggi

- Pay/benefits are incredibly generous - People are generally easy/nice to work with - Note that the Systems department seems to be fairly isolated from the negative issues discussed in other reviews (e.g. tension between warehouse workers and management) - I haven't experienced any of those issues within the systems department. In my opinion, Systems is a great place to work and develop as an engineer. - Hybrid work style (3 days in office). Personally, I like hybrid more than both fully in-office and fully remote styles. - Great cafeteria with good food and cheap prices. - Good work/life balance (outside of being on call, I can leave work at work).

Svantaggi

- Work is not super interesting to me. I come from a highly technical, but very different (not ecommerce/industrial supplies), background where I was doing work I was much more interested in. No doubt there are folks in Systems who love the domain though. - While I'm not on call a ton (1-2 weeks every few months), I really hate being on call. I like to leave work at work. Note that joining at least one reliability team is expected within your first year or so.
