Pros

Lots of autonomy. Work can be interesting.

Cons

It's difficult to get others to help you because you need a task code to work on anything and with budgets tight they want to keep hours worked as low as possible. That means no overtime too (like they used to have). Lousy raise this year. 1.5% - what a joke. If they think a raise like this will help them retain engineers then management truly has their heads in the sand. I expect a huge outflow of employees in the coming months, right after the yearly bonus gets paid.

Pros

9/80 and every 2nd Friday off, generous vacation time.

Cons

The company is 100+ years old and functions almost entirely on inertia. Senior Management is totally disconnected from the day to day, and it shows in the content of their "community" video meetings. They talk about diversity but have no interest in applying it. Most of the time they totally ignore the needs of their disabled employees.
