Avantages

Could work from home daily. I had some really great co-workers

Inconvénients

Manager was terrible. He had no idea what he was doing. Everyone else on the team was new. One of the employees on the team kind of took charge and we let him, cause at least we had a direction. Manager had no idea of what was important and what was not. He gave us little direction. Constantly shifting priorities, scope creep and goalposts. Everything was an emergency. Working in constant fear. Working 12 hour days and weekends. Manager was more than willing to blame his short comings on his employees instead of taking ownership of the fact that he did not know what he was doing. It was clear he wanted to be a developer, but probably got managed out of it because he was not very good. He also had no respect for customers. Just dump the first version of something out there. Any other input was considered to be that the customer in question was taking advantage of our team. Most communication is done via slack. Some groups are helpful and many will blow you off.

Avantages

Plenty of opportunity to earn well over $100,000.00 with Standby pay and OT. Plus, mileage reimbursement of $.70 a mile.

Inconvénients

Sometimes tedious work below what I would consider for an experienced FE such as hard drive destruction bin audits and checking in equipment.

Avantages

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Inconvénients

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
