Pros

As an engineer I had a great opportunity to grow and build a product from the bottom up. Had ownership, built up interpersonal skills as well as building up a team and the software product from nothing. The people, freedom, and growth were fantastic

Cons

After multiple restructures with poor direction from management things were falling apart. No respect amongst colleagues suddenly and it felt like everyone was walking on glass. What made Mettel a great place to work was quickly taken because of bureaucracy and blurred lines. Also terrible health bennies and no time off.

Pros

Good people to work with, very supportive, and easy to get projects completed once started. Wonderful project managers. Hang Li is probably one of the best in the industry.

Cons

I am not sure if this is a con per se or just growing pains for the company. Their new process for rolling out new projects through a small approval team slows things down. Many valuable projects never progress beyond being mentioned. I preferred the old way, where I would work directly with Executives and Directors to identify projects based on needs and issues. There was a bit of start/pause/redirect with projects that created issues.
