Pros

It been a year so I would not know what perks are left. You get a phone for company use.

Cons

The company changed it's coin field from techs to service people and are paying them half of what they used to pay. Over the last year they have pushed out all the long time techs for people that can only do cleaning on the units. Managers are trying to cover for lack of techs.

Business Outlook

Pros

* Good camaraderie amongst peers * Plenty of free snacks and drinks * Benefit package ok

Cons

Company has lots its soul for innovation and some of the Directors/Management do not accurately reflect or practice the company values like "respect and integrity". A recent re0-org brought in a matrix development structure with too many layers of management who are out of touch with the sustaining versus innovating process. One Director is bent on building their fiefdom that key employees and contributors have either quit or unceremoniously escorted out when they don't agree with their pre-conceived direction or project status. Unbelievable to hear that the new CEO is being paid $1.6 million +.
