Pros

Not very many these days... the company is very tolerant of using Paid Time Off whenever you like.

Cons

Senior Management is somewhere between incompetent and unscrupulous. Organization is inflexible and generally not-competitive. Employee ranks are stuffed with middle-managers, usually going by the title "Project Engineer" or "Project Manager" who contribute very little, yet make a lot of money. The weight of middle management makes the company uncompetitive on a cost of work basis. Promotion is strictly by attrition and time of service, no amount of hard work or talent will move you up the chain faster.

Pros

My pros are my manager and team coworkers. Outside of that not really a fan. I do well at what I do.

Cons

Honestly, ever since new management has come for the upper VPs and directors, a lot has shifted for the negative. Feels very micromanaging when we were told we were doing fine at home and there was no reason to have us come back in the office. Now suddenly we’re being forced back to the office. Other departments and I don’t really get along because there’s a bunch of petty people just trying to get others in trouble and all I’m doing is trying to do my job. Where I am at, everyone just talks all day and then complains about how much work they have.
