Pros

Great work life balance! They are genuinely concerned about your safety (they don't just talk the talk, but walk the walk) Sometime it even seems so much so that it gets in the way of things, but it is a good thing overall. Great praise for when you do a good job. Great co-workers! Above average pay. They let you do your job and don't micromanage you as long as your not screwing up. A feeling a really making a difference.

Cons

If you run into problems it is difficult to find the right person to talk to. No one seem to know the correct protocol or even if there is one. Steep learning curve to the job. Difficult to actually get your foot into the door here, but once you do...your golden! Benefits are good, but I have had better.

Pros

The paycheck still clears (for now, until your role is moved to Bangalore or Manila). ​The 9/80 schedule used to be a perk, but it’s hard to enjoy a Friday off when you spent the previous four days hunting for a desk like a game of musical chairs.

Cons

The RTO Charade: Leadership loves to talk about "collaboration," but the 4-day Return to Office (RTO) is clearly a quiet layoff tactic. They want people to quit so they don’t have to pay severance. The "Invisible" Office: It’s impressive how Mike Wirth can demand everyone be in the building while simultaneously removing the basic infrastructure of a workplace. No assigned desks, no storage, and literally no trash cans. Apparently, "Human Energy" includes carrying your own garbage home and spending 30 minutes every morning wandering the floor looking for a monitor that actually works. Leadership Vacuum: Les Copland is the definition of a CIO "yes man." Instead of standing up for the integrity of the tech stack or the US workforce, he’s overseen the systematic gutting of IT. It’s a race to the bottom to find the cheapest labor possible outside of the US, leaving the remaining domestic staff to clean up the inevitable mess. The War on American Workers: There is a blatant, aggressive push to minimize the American footprint. We are being phased out in favor of massive outsourcing hubs. You aren't a valued engineer here; you’re an overhead cost that Mike Wirth is looking to delete.
