Pros

I worked there for 13 years as a assembler, test tech, test trouble shooter and prototype assembler. most all the production employ were a good bunch of people. the enginers I worked with were great and helpful a very good group

Cons

you heard here lot of times.. the ceo/owner. I worked very close with him for about 8 years. he is a very intelligent guy. but he really has no "people skills" unless you are on his level of living. he gives you a project, sets you to work and then when you either ask a question or show the status, it is all wrong and it ALL WAYS your fault. he would change mind in midstream making most your time on the project pointless. I started as an assembler, started helping with the testing an repair of products with out ever receiving the pay that usualy come with that job. I was laid off because of my attendance. in 13 years I had I believe 1 written warning and a few verbal that my attendance was getting close to problem, which I would then take care of. management wont give a straight answer. part of my point being, if attendance was so horrific why was I there so long? in general most the revews here are spot on. with the eception of the ones praising management. there are added by either the ceo or most likely the head manager

Working in an Atmosphere of Uncertainty

Pros

I thoroughly enjoyed working with everyone in the Richardson office. The autonomy of my position allowed me to be creative and I felt like I was a positive influence, as well as productive. Working close to home was a perk I had never experienced and relished the short drive during my short employment of 6 months.

Cons

Historically, my position only lasts for a few months before executive management severs the ties. I have little hope that anyone hired will retire there, but I wish them the best for giving it a shot.

Pros

Always exciting and challenging. I expected to be bored by now, but new opportunities to learn, expand, and grow are here for the taking. The people here are as good as any I have worked with.

Cons

Schedule pressure is always an issue mostly due to the nature of the market - we have to keep up with and hopefully exceed the features and capabilities of our competitors
