      decent workplace despite recent company hardships (layoffs, economy)

      Software engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good health benefits ( vision, dental, health, 401k ) , generally great people , smart / helpful engineers and managers , management tries it's best to be transparent , Guy ( the CEO ) stresses this often . free soda and coffee . bagels every last Friday of the month =)

      Cons

      lean IT staff , difficult to get new computer equipment , work doesn't seem very fast-paced , several recent layoffs or people moving on by choice have decreased morale among employees . difficulty in forecasting our business makes for some surprises during earnings reporting season ( see Oct 07 and Jan 08 )

      Not a bad place to learn but I would not come here if your looking for a career.

      Pros

      The company has its hands in every aspect of software engineering. From hardware design to GUI applications development so if you are not sure what you want to do as an engineer you could try many things here.

      Cons

      Changing groups if you do want to try multiple things is almost impossible. Old equipment, the company is stuck back in the early 90s. Overall feeling from top management is not lets think about the problem before implementing something but lets do lots of work to show that we are doing lots of work.

      great potential poor execution

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It is the market leader in print and imaging technologies and has a huge applications portfolio, so you could effectively end up working in a lot of areas. The nature of employees is generally very helpful and congenial. ANother important part is, your job cold be generally secure, since it is a niche market with the lone market leader, so it is difficult for its marlket share to get dangerously lower, which means if you are perfporming reasonably well, and if you reasonably visible, your job is definitely safe (though not recession proof), that might be the preference of a family person. Also the onsite day care is helpful for people woith families.

      Cons

      Huge portfolio leads to wide systems, that were slapped on together to creagte a confusiing mish mash of apps, that weer not properly designed to woek. the company generally swings between two exterme phases of no change in technology approach at all (stagnation) or rash un accounted changes in implementation. Senior management genarlly seems confused on what the future path should be for EFI. There is a high turn over of employees, though there are still about 40 pc people who have been around for more than 4 years. There are bright people but improper plannign leads to poor load balancing of work, and some teams get stressed out with work, while others are sitting idle.
