      Pros

      The company offers great salary and overall benefits including 200% match to 401K, Tution reimbursement and stock options with long term incentives. So you will feel financially good as long as you are employed by the company.

      Cons

      Poor leadership, No definite direction, every new executive wants to drive the company their own way without thinking about its employees and how it was done in past. Top executives seem to beleive strongly in the philosphy that their way is always the correct way. Sad to see the employees being laid off, who have spent over 10-15 years at the company specially during this hard economic times. Financial profits are given more value than core human values. I definitely regret my decision now.

      Pros

      Friendly environment, excellent infrastructure. The leadership is good and a very exciting place to be working. Good knowledge transfer and cross functional training

      Cons

      Engineering is pretty difficult to get in for entry level candidates. Flexible workforce and that may be a con for some.
