Pros

Collaboration with other engineers, technicians, and customers is likely the only remaining positive aspect of working at the company, providing meaningful professional interaction and problem-solving despite broader organizational challenges.

Cons

The company’s top leadership continues to enrich itself while disregarding the well-being and intelligence of its employees. Retirement matching contributions have been reduced, pensions frozen, vacation carryover sharply restricted, health insurance costs substantially increased, annual raise pools kept consistently insufficient, and employee bonuses cut—resulting in stagnant or reduced total compensation for the workforce. Meanwhile, the CEO and executive leadership continue to receive substantial stock awards, bonuses, and compensation that includes personal-expense-related benefits. Compounding these harms, leadership routinely attempts to reframe cuts to employee benefits as being “for employees’ own good,” treating the workforce as though it is incapable of recognizing the direct financial damage these decisions cause. Employees have repeatedly raised these concerns through internal surveys, yet leadership has consistently ignored this feedback. This combination of dismissiveness, misrepresentation, and disproportionate executive enrichment reflects a systemic imbalance of power and priorities that urgently demands intervention and stronger labor protections. In the absence of responsive and accountable leadership, workers must be empowered to organize and unionize to protect their interests, benefits, dignity, and long-term financial security.

Pros

- Mission - Work life balance - Pay - Modernization of the workplace

Cons

- Every year benefits are reduced with terrible and tone deaf justifications. - Added benefits tend only to benefit new employees. - Perception that the company does not value long term employees (suspension of defined benefit program) - Poor ESPP discount - Lack of transparency on how AEIP bonus is calculated - Workflow tools are still extremely cumbersome after years of promises to fix them - Lack of enforcement of hybrid work policy. Many people never come in and are never spoken to about it.
