Pros

Local engineering management was good. Most were great bosses to report to and always had your back. 401(k) was higher than normal (9% match with employee 6% contribution).

Cons

For new engineers, this company will provide low salary and vacation. Average starting salary for engineer is low 60k. Most engineers with 3-5 were in the 70k range. Bonuses were all over the place and yearly wage increases (if there were any) were barely enough to keep up with cost of living. Starting vacation is 2 weeks which is becoming less and less rare because most companies wanting to retain talent offer 3. Company hates to spend money so don't plan on much training and development.

Pros

Somewhat free to work autonomously and work the best way you can without too much intervention from senior leadership.

Cons

Enough is almost never enough so very little job satisfaction.
