Same Pros as many ppl have listed like * Work with REALLY smart and competent people * Exciting and interesting work * Product truly helps people and changes their lives for the better

Cons

* Poor management * Managers don't care for you *No good project planning, Things change at last moment and you are pissed off with last minute changes and lot of work pressure * No friendly environment * No Appreciation and motivation and by the end you feel cheated & pretty down * Some Of the R&D managers are really not friendly , they want to drink your blood to get work done. So most of the time you feel low and humiliated * No parking........ *Company has no priorities and vision *Work like balance is very bad if you are in R & D

Pros

The technology is revolutionary, and it feels great to be a part of something that helps so many people. Nice facilities for employees.

Cons

As an operator, you are just a number. You are really limited as far as advancement opportunities until you have been there over one year, even then, promotions in the pack out department seems to be based more on senority rather than on one's merit. Unfortunately, I also felt at a disadvantage because I'm not Asian or Hispanic ethnically. I hate to say it, and it made me very sad, but it genuinely felt that the Lead Operators showed prominent favoritism based upon your ethnicity, at least at this level of the company. Most people dislike or just plan hate the position. This is so much so that almost all of their hiring is done through various temp agencies, and turnover is astounding! Also, be prepared to leave work everyday in discomfort, or even severe pain due to the repetative nature of the position. Sure, you adapt over time, and the pain can lessen in severity, but it usually still significant and impactful on your daily life. There are a large number of employees at any one time that are on modified duty secondary to a repetative work-related injury. I was extremely excited when I first started, but over time, that excitement waned and faded completely. I would not recommend this position, unless this job is your only option at the time.

Pros

The pay is ok when you are making commission. The benefits are pretty good. A lot of different people so you will definitely make some friends. The product really does great things and you really can and are help people!

Cons

Managment. Their are many areas of opportunity for the leadership team. They make ideas that aren't well tested or planned out and then everyone is required to go with it. They offer no actual coaching outside of telling people that they are non responsive to coaching. Sometimes they will coach you by emailing you about a mistake you made and simply saying what did you do wrong here or if you ask a question you get a response something along the lines of what do you think the answer is. Training is lacking horribly which is confusing considering how many people they have in the training department. Really high turnover rate. HR is a joke if you report an issue they just tell the management team and nothing is ever really done. People are promoted for being a favorite over ability, knowledge, leadership skills and what you do over and above your position.
