Pros

Work from home capability, decent benefits

Cons

Compensation below market based median salary even after 9 years employment. MMWay is crushing our spirit. Managers do very little to encourage or guide career development but are more than happy to have you cross-train with other departments so you can take additional responsibility for the same pay and title. Upper management is vastly out of touch with their employees on the floor. Morning huddles and problem solving meetings are often counter-productive and saturated with corporate rhetoric. Skills and accomplishments that go beyond job responsibilities are under-recognized; they'll tell you how much they value what you bring to the table until it's time to review salaries and bonuses; then all you hear is how the budget is tight but here are some suggestions to improve over the next year. Thankful to have a job in general but don't really feel a sense of being valued. Lately I feel like a hollow automaton, pushing work through to please the master that is the corporate giant, each day dying inside all over again...but hey, I'm a single father with a kid and a mortgage so I can't exactly up and leave to frolic about in pursuit of my whims.

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
