Pros

Very good company and flexible work hours and trusts employee. Never pushes employee and gives full freedom and respect for employee

Cons

Company should implement 360 degree feed back system. Right now Managers are considered gods and their salary always higher than a person with higher experience in technical ladder

Pros

They pay well. Smart co-workers. Challenging problems to solve.

Cons

All future growth outside USA. Forced 25days of shutdown with little flexibility. Treat employees as expenses. Will lay off people with out any input from 1st level manager. They do not trust their own employees.
