Avantages

Fun product to work on. Opportunity to take on a lot of responsibility and make impact if you're able to control your destiny. Company used to have better culture If you're good with office politics, this is the place.

Inconvénients

The company is chaotic. Project roadmaps not clear. I dont agree with how engineering decisions are made (if you can call them engineering decisions). Dont agree with leadership decisions, from CEO down to management . Need to improve cross functional aspects. There is no discipline/accountability for poor decisions which rewards quick low quality decisions. Would not recommend if you enjoy detail oriented engineering. Company/Department needs to move on from the mindset "engineer is executive of the part" so he needs to do everyones job. This works when the company is small, at this point engineers should engineer and management should push back on ownership. TPM's are not technical at all and should really take on the 80% of what "mechanical engineers" do. Don't let the title fool you, lot of program management as engineer. Engineers rely on multiple departments for analysis but I haven't seen their ability to fully understand what they receive.
