If your company is acquired, look for work (YMMV)

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

If you are at a main company site (I believe mostly in Minnesota) or at a site they decide to keep, it appears to be a well run, well funded place with classes and conferences to help you stay current. If you are at an acquired company, they will tell you how valued you are. You may get continued employment for some time, and they provide some outplacement support and severance when they lay you off.

Cons

Hunter-gatherer, with companies and products as prey. If you are at a company that is acquired and don't want to move to Minnesota (extremes of -40°F and 110°F humid), start looking for work. They come in friendly, learn about your products, then transfer the profitable ones to Minnesota or offshore, kill any that don't have high enough ROI, and lay everyone off with various amounts of warning. Not sure whether you will get to design anything new. If there is any next-generation product development or work to keep them updated, I am not aware of it.

Great company

Mfg engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

A lot of talented people and plenty of resources available to help you succeed. A large organization with a lot of career opportunity. Good management that strives to do the right thing.

Cons

Expectations for career level seem to differ among different functions. Operations can seem more metric focused and less people focused at times.

Great Company Poor Management

Customer service associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great place to work, good coffee machines, they do a lot for the employees as far as lunches, work-life balance, salary is good for what we did. Good benefits.

Cons

If your a contractor get ready to be treated like dirt, promised opportunities that never appear. If you have more experience, knowledge or input you are completely ostracized & treated so bad you want to leave & some have. They send strings of emails sent to you for a typo. Yet if you are a friend of Management you can pretty much get away with anything at all there. Training is not set up properly for a call center and the trainer is not qualified nor has the experience to be able to train properly & accurately.
