Pros

Good vacation, good starting pay. Good work life balance if you don't care.

Cons

Incompetent direct managers, either not working or constantly interfering with technical work. Not supporting direct reports. Slow career progression and will be even slower in the future. Slow pay progression and constantly docked bonus.

Pros

Friendly, helpful colleagues. Vast variety of opportunities for engineers, especially younger ones. Actively supporting the communities where we live and work. Recent changes in management have restored positive outlook.

Cons

A lot of eggs are in the circular-economy basket rather than having the risk more evenly distributed among our product streams. We've lost a lot of talent recently to other businesses, partly because of unhappiness with former management but partly because of pay. Annual pay increases exist but have not even come close to keeping up with inflation.
