Pros

Friday`s Early Finish and 2 days WFH.

Cons

Quite Toxic Environment Very Political Very Low Morale & Negative Energy. Useless Management at best some managers are no more than managers in training they should not be in managerial roles. You don't want to be in a position where you suffer from someone`s incompetence and you constantly have to clean up the mess time after time knowing what the root-cause is.

Pros

Company outlook is good, job security for those who don't break. A handful of great senior guys who will help when they're not overloaded themselves. Starting pay is above average, yearly performance-based raises. For those that can last a few years, the variety of experiences look great on your next resume.

Cons

Advertised as 85% travel but really pressured for 100% with no proactive regard for employee welfare, must demand breaks to get them with significant pushback. As the company boasts banner years, they cut employee per diem and other travel benefits to further maximize profits. Hemorrhaging senior talent. Increased "attaboys" and non-monetary verbal recognition as compensation. Inner circle of employees cultivated by senior management as Yes-men to give vocal support to unpopular decisions. Employee feedback response is "that's coming from corporate, we're just implementing the policy. " Growth is time-gated while hiring engineers with 20+ years experience. Little to no support, procedures or documentation for the product line an FSE is expected to maintain--learn by banging your head against the wall.
