Pluspunten

With only a few exceptions the people here are great.

Minpunten

Its common for the company to only do two annual raises every 3 years by pushing several of them out by 6 months at a time. This has been constant over the past 7 years so expect it to continue. Work and responsibilities are independent of title so you could be doing work well above your pay grade. The promotions recently have been for MUCH lower percentages and amounts than 5 years ago. There is a large disconnect between R&D and other departments which cause them to push completely unrealistic timelines and schedules and then get upset when they had no chance of being met. Base pay is low (10-25k below state avg) and we've had trouble for several years hiring new talent, because so few people will accept the terrible pay. It likely won't change until people start leaving, and even then it'll just lead to those that stay behind getting more work and new hires still not coming in.

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.
