Vantaggi

Top of the line products with interesting technology.

Svantaggi

Horrible organization with way too many managers controlling everything you do. There are eight,(8), levels of managers between an ordinary product development engineer and the CEO!? The whole organization is built on control and the employees are treated like cattle, if you do not seem to fit in your role you WILL get moved around to different departments. There are constantly meetings about everything, sometimes you get the impression that meetings are being held just for the cause of it. Lower level managers are afraid to take decisions so instead as many people as possible are invited to meetings so that managers can not be accused of taking the wrong decisions personally. To get anything done you must ensure to have both secured your decision upwards and downwards in the extremely hierarchaly built organization. Wages are being kept below average for the industry in general and senior managers are treated like "gods" by lower level managers.

Vantaggi

Work–life balance is actually respected. Most managers honor boundaries, don’t expect late-night firefighting as the norm, and are fine with you taking time off when you need it. Solid parental leave. The parental leave policy is extremely generous compared to a lot of places in the industry, and leadership is generally supportive of people actually using it. Interesting, challenging work. Plenty of chances to solve real problems, not just busywork. If you’re proactive, you can own projects and grow your skill set. Good benefits package. Healthcare, 401(k), and time off are competitive, and HR does a decent job of making the options clear. Smart coworkers who care. A lot of sharp people who genuinely want to do the right thing for customers and the business, which makes collaboration worthwhile when it works.

Svantaggi

Communication needs improvement. Priorities and decisions don’t always flow clearly from leadership to the teams doing the work, which leads to confusion and rework. Too many silos. Teams tend to operate in their own lane, and cross-functional collaboration can be painful. Information gets stuck instead of shared.
