Vantaggi
Interesting technical problems, some really great engineers and people, Boise is a fairly nice city (especially if you bought your house awhile ago), a strong and experienced manager can make a huge difference protecting from much of the BS from above
Svantaggi
Biggest problem here is that the company loves managers more than engineers. Much easier to climb the ladder and get more money by turning into a manager than by being a technically competent engineer who is respected by their peers. The company is filled with layers and layers of management. Another big problem is the current CEO’s very heavy-handed, top-down approach. Managers and directors often have little room to apply their own discretion. Stacked rankings and restrictive WFH policies are evidence. The reward loyalty with meager raises, at least in Boise. Corporate believes that people won’t uproot their lives by leaving Idaho to change jobs so they skimp on the perks.
