Pros

Fast-paced environment that will keep you busy, even if you’re not always sure why. Plenty of opportunities to touch multiple tasks without clear ownership, which builds tolerance for ambiguity. Coworkers are generally helpful because everyone is navigating the same confusion. Good work-life balance overall, despite the constant feeling of chasing moving targets. Pay and benefits are solid for the level of organizational clarity provided.

Cons

Chronic lack of direction and accountability. Roles are vague, priorities constantly shift, and no one seems fully aligned on what matters. Workload is either nonexistent or randomly urgent with no in-between. Significant inefficiencies due to poor communication and unclear ownership of tasks. Limited opportunity to actually develop meaningful skills.

Pros

Some talented engineers as coworkers, work schedule 9/80 and great benefits.

Cons

EOIS leadership, senior managers and directors are borderline incompetent, horrible lack of communication, constantly changing priorities and ridiculous reliance on workforce tools to determine how many “heads” have program work to do with no actual understanding of the work engineers actually do. Constant micromanaging by mid levels managers or no management whatsoever with no consistency at all.
