Pros

Stable company if you do not work on the actual manufacturing floor, otherwise they do big layoffs. In addition, there is a lot of opportunity to move around to different departments and try different positions. This company is good for someone on the tail end of their career looking to retire. Good work life balance. In an industry where the product doesn't need to change, but this could be looked at as a pro or a con.

Cons

- Too conservative of a culture - Stuck in the "times". - Terrible company for professional development. - Low compensation - Subject to economic cycles - High turnover - There's a reason why PACCAR is rated so slow already.

Pros

Wonderful internship experience. I truly enjoyed every aspect of the internship, from the people and team culture to the meaningful projects and great location. It was an incredibly positive learning experience, and I would highly recommend working there.

Cons

While the business professional dress code may not be for everyone, I personally didn’t mind it and felt it contributed to the professional environment.

Pros

Not much, if you want a place that's okay with mediocrity, then welcome.

Cons

They blindly follow industry trends not industry standards. We have an initiative to use AI to increase productivity, without a proper plan, without security in mind and lack of general understanding. Consistently understaffed, for example there are teams or parts if teams that have max 4 developer type roles with 36 apps or APIs to support - this has lead to inconsistent code and effort as employees are spread too thin to be able to deliver quality work. Management refuses to take responsibility for issues that arise from being understaffed. Teams are not consistent in what tools and pipelines are used causing even more confusion and delays. Double standards: they don't want to properly promote or give raises to hard workers. Upper management made it clear to direct managers that "meets expectations" was a fine thing to give... To employees doing more than their fair share of work and are doing work outside of their role since they have no one else to do it do to being understaffed.
