Pluspunten

Good pay & medical benefits. It's great for getting hands-on experience after college and they are very actively targeting young people & entry level positions. The company was founded by an inventor, so there is an underlying ethos of chasing innovative ideas. There is also a strong culture of ethics & safety so while pressure to achieve results is very high, you will not be asked to do questionable or unsafe things to get there.

Minpunten

Frequent strategy shifts, re-organizations, leadership changes & lay-offs that has led to very short-term results focus only (this quarter, maybe this year). Turnover is quite high at all levels of the organization, Investment in fundamental or scalable transformational work is very limited and ability to serve customers well is challenging with outdated software tools, processes & policies. Lots of initiatives or software upgrades start but never finish and get tossed out by the next leader that takes it over. Meaningful professional development & promotion in collaboration with your managers is almost non-existent since leaders change so quickly. The culture is 'figure it out yourself' for development, how to perform well in your role & how best to adapt to changes in the business strategy and direction.

Pluspunten

Decent base pay and fast paced work makes the days go by quickly. Lately the company has been actually investing in their new product lines ever since Joakim became our CEO.

Minpunten

The compensation is lacking. No bonuses whatsoever for senior level engineers even when they're recognized as a key contributor on the team. We are given our 401k match on March 1st to cover the previous year's matches so you lose out on a lot of the year's market gains. The healthcare coverage is mediocre at best for a fortune 500 company. The raises are still given like it's 2018; 3% is considered a "good" merit increase. This is due to the "forced distribution" merit increase system where only "so many" people can receives "above expectations" raises.
