Pluspunten

Great Benefits, especially as you stay on. People are friendly and helpful. There are a lot of opportunities outside of the current position you have. People are very loyal and generations stay on and work there. 9/80 work schedule is really great from a work-life balance perspective.

Minpunten

People move up or on after only a couple of years at a position, meaning no one really talks a long-term vision of any "department". There is no clear delineation on who owns what from a Business Unit/Central Team perspective, leading to a lot of duplicate work being done and a lot of people feeling like their toes are being stepped on. In general, processes (specifically in IT) don't change, even though there is no evidence that the current processes work. IT is viewed as a 2nd class citizen by the business. But, the view is warranted as IT is not adapting quickly to more agile development methodologies and takes a long time produce deliverables. Typical big-company issues.

Pluspunten

The paycheck still clears (for now, until your role is moved to Bangalore or Manila). ​The 9/80 schedule used to be a perk, but it’s hard to enjoy a Friday off when you spent the previous four days hunting for a desk like a game of musical chairs.

Minpunten

The RTO Charade: Leadership loves to talk about "collaboration," but the 4-day Return to Office (RTO) is clearly a quiet layoff tactic. They want people to quit so they don’t have to pay severance. The "Invisible" Office: It’s impressive how Mike Wirth can demand everyone be in the building while simultaneously removing the basic infrastructure of a workplace. No assigned desks, no storage, and literally no trash cans. Apparently, "Human Energy" includes carrying your own garbage home and spending 30 minutes every morning wandering the floor looking for a monitor that actually works. Leadership Vacuum: Les Copland is the definition of a CIO "yes man." Instead of standing up for the integrity of the tech stack or the US workforce, he’s overseen the systematic gutting of IT. It’s a race to the bottom to find the cheapest labor possible outside of the US, leaving the remaining domestic staff to clean up the inevitable mess. The War on American Workers: There is a blatant, aggressive push to minimize the American footprint. We are being phased out in favor of massive outsourcing hubs. You aren't a valued engineer here; you’re an overhead cost that Mike Wirth is looking to delete.
