Vantaggi

It's fun to see the trucks you helped design rolling down the freeway in the lane next to you. Excellent brand recognition. Stable and profitable company. This company sits in a comfortable niche and is great at selling the products they produce.

Svantaggi

Not a place where people feel comfortable expressing themselves. In over two years I never met a single (openly) gay colleague. People are very cautious about what they say within these walls. Self-destructive, cold-blooded (or paranoid?): I saw this company fire two good/loyal engineers for utterly ridiculous reasons in 2010. I remember management once "requiring" my entire dev team (group of 40ish design engineers) to work 50 hour weeks for a special "push" with no extra compensation other than free soda. That's when I knew I had to get out of there.

Vantaggi

Not much, if you want a place that's okay with mediocrity, then welcome.

Svantaggi

They blindly follow industry trends not industry standards. We have an initiative to use AI to increase productivity, without a proper plan, without security in mind and lack of general understanding. Consistently understaffed, for example there are teams or parts if teams that have max 4 developer type roles with 36 apps or APIs to support - this has lead to inconsistent code and effort as employees are spread too thin to be able to deliver quality work. Management refuses to take responsibility for issues that arise from being understaffed. Teams are not consistent in what tools and pipelines are used causing even more confusion and delays. Double standards: they don't want to properly promote or give raises to hard workers. Upper management made it clear to direct managers that "meets expectations" was a fine thing to give... To employees doing more than their fair share of work and are doing work outside of their role since they have no one else to do it do to being understaffed.
