Pros

I've met and worked with talented folks here and I appreciate that.

Cons

however I joined this role for a lateral career pivot for embedded software engineering and I haven't been assigned a project involving embedded software engineering. I understand contracts can cause pivots but I will have to look elsewhere soon if I can't even be partially allocated to a project in embedded. I've been a part of two projects so far. Awaiting a new manager to assist with this but can't be reassigned a manager until the reorganization. If compensation was much higher I might be able to sit this out longer but this combined with the lack of approvals for outside work requests for employees less than a year is frustrating.

Dear Embedded Software Engineer - I'd love to the opportunity to speak with you directly and hear more about your current situation. You are 100% correct - contracts can pivot and that can have impact on how employees are aligned to meaningful work. That said, not knowing your situation, I'm unable to truly assist. Feel free to reach out to me directly at tonia.patt@twosixtech.com. I wanted to also comment on your advice. Our retention of employees is very strong at roughly 85% for the past two years -- which is above industry trend.

Pros

Great WFH flexibility, cool projects, nice office, generous compensation, good benefits, great lab, great resources, great management style, awesome customers.

Cons

No self directed 401k or in plan rollover option. No equity. IT, Security, and Acquisitions can be difficult to work with sometimes.

Dear Current Employee - Thank you for the 5 Star Review. I'd like to encourage you to reach out to our Benefits Lead or your Human Resources Business Partner. You may not have the most current information on our 401k Plan and flexibility options to optimize your PTO. Our 401k plan does allow self-directed investments and our 401k plan also accepts rollovers from prior jobs.

Pros

High Base Salary High growth opportunities Really smart people work here Above average benefits They do actually care about their employees overall, if something outside of work or something out of your control turns your life upside down, they do care. If you work at corporate directly or DMV area, it's definitely a lot better

Cons

Inconsistent workload (Dayton/Beavercreek Location) Long-term stability problems (Dayton/Beavercreek Location) There are some managers you want to avoid, unless you are really good at communicating issues, otherwise they are quite dismissive and they put a lot of faith in AI tools. If you are a senior level engineer there is an expectation to perform at a high level at all times, and you will be asked to do tasking that you may have not originally signed up for, but hey that comes with the high pay. Getting approval for conference/training is not great, this point in particular was disappointing for me, because I am a bit of a celebrity in my domain and I would figure that the company would use that to their advantage to market the company.

Dear Former Employee - Thank you for the 4 Start Review and specific feedback. Somethings we can take forward and discuss how to improve. What stood out for me - "they do care". We most certainly do care about our employees and know they have a life outside of work, one that should be prioritized.
