Pros

Technology of work is good. Work life balance is excellent.

Cons

In all of my career I have never seen such a disconnected management. The managers think of themselves as gods. The appraisal system is totally broken. Nobody seem to care if an engineer puts in his/ her effort. An engineer can spend his/her day in office doing nothing and still go unnoticed. For the appraisal purpose thr feedback is taken from the scrum masters by the managers. This is the only part of the year when an employee speaks to a manager. There is an overtime concept in the LMI Athlone where in an employee gets paid if he puts in extra hours of job. This overtime concept is applicable only to engineers. This overtime is heavily missused by the engineers. Because there is no annual hike engineers are so dissatisfied that we simply prolong the work and do it during overtime so as to make more money. Even this is not noticed or checked by the management. People are so frustrated that they don't want to listen anything anybody wants to say. Another funny workflow is, the engineers are asked to make a release plan and the program managers just hang around and agree for what ever is being planned .

Pros

-Technological superior to most other companies with use of AI and promising future tech/programs -benefits and pay are very competetive -room for professional growth and advancement if you know how to work in a corporate environment -resume development and professional advancement

Cons

-leadership ideology doesnt match the company/CEOs mission statement or belief (company is said to be all for safety yet leaders get put in charge and quickly dismantle and lay off 3 quarters of the safety department) -Leadership changes structure to benefit themselves by having all support functions report to them instead of the CEO, this ensures all support functions take a back seat to production and financial gain to include their employees well being -Company restructured and reorganizes very often while showing no loyalty to the employees who work hard and want to stay, this leads to turn over of great employees.
