It is not a job for future..but it gives a monthly paycheck

Principal engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

* if u have no job and get an offer from this company, this is a good stepping stone while u learn * I think this is still a stable company (no layoff yet)

Cons

* no vacation (unlimited vacation in management term) = 1/2 - 3/4 months of money less than other companies for many employees * No raise for promotion (neither stock or salary) ....if I knew this earlier, I would not like a promotion! * almost no matching on 401k (1.2%? don't remember the smaller fraction!!) * fire-fighter style with no money rewards!

Generally a good place if you are willing to seek success on technical career path (& keep on it)

Principal software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

1. Very (advanced) technical centric environment if you belong to a real R&D team (not AE/FAE) 2. In general high competence co-workers & polite mid-level Managers 3. Once decent pay (but declining...) 4. In general resourceful to help you complete your work

Cons

1. Declining rate of compensation is a too significant & can't see any plan (even excuse) from high managerment... 2. Differences (compensation, focal review...) between BU are huge and... opaque. 3. More and more bureacucy when it is already a big company with 13xxx employees

No work/life balance; low level managers show no respect to teams

Business Outlook

Pros

- Challenging work - OK compensation (but get worse each year) - Relative stable company in this bad economy.

Cons

- No work/life balance. - In fire fighting mode all the times, reactive mode. - Lower level managers (in MPG) have access to you anytime (late night and/or weekends) - Low level managers show no respect to teams - No vacation time allocated. Need VP approval for more than 2 weeks but most of the times your managers won't even consider it so VP does not need to approve. - Don't know who our HR representative is. If there is an issue with managers don't know who to turn to. - Engineers are overloaded - No support and encouragement for higher education
