Cons
Lower salary range compared to other competitors.
No stock option.
Technology is old so need to upskill and update yourself on the side.
It's now 2 merged companies and still sorting out the culture. The European company is better managed but has a weird set of tools.
The American side messed up inventories and everyone took a pay cut, but they use a much more industry standard set of tools.
Former company was bought by Adtran. Over the next couple of years all of us were dropped from the rolls. Only a couple of our west coast team remain after three years (started with 20 some). They started with the older employees replacing them with interns using AI.
