Pros

Good gym and average health insurance benefits.

Cons

The immediate management spend meetings discussing how bad the CEO and his family run the company but in front of CEO act like benevolent team members. They speak ill of CEO and his principles and laugh at how badly the company is doing. Yet they somehow get promoted and are in very senior positions. if any team member wants to implement good quality processes they are shut down either by firing them or threatening to fire them. The ruthlessness of this management is unknown to the CEO. Feel bad for the man who is good at heart. There is no team building activities or recognition for good work. Only criticism and throwing people under the bus.

Pros

Very little oversight from executive management, so middle managers can get away with pretty much anything we want!

Cons

Salary is bottom of the barrel. Management is bottom of the barrel (you get what you pay for). Nepotism is rampant. Kind of a dead-end job really. Opportunities are reserved only for friends/family of the CEO, otherwise the management thinks opportunities will make everyone leave. No raises or title changes for increased responsibility. Benefits are poor and get worse every year. Bonuses are non-existent. Average engineer tenure is 2 years.

Pros

Young workforce. Ok place to start right out of school.

Cons

Management is an old boys club and absolutely displays favoritism. If the manager doesn’t like you, you’re out. NEPOTISM! Can’t stress that enough. Middle management doesn’t listen to its teams. Lack of any communication about your own career path even when you try to do so. No opportunities to grow. Constant demeaning talk during workshops about competitors. Negative environment to be in, unless you’re a favorite with management. Lack of direction about where the company is going. This company does not live up to the culture it talks about. It’s not a team environment. Everyone is out for themselves. This company still acts like it’s a small company but it’s not.
