Business Outlook

Pros

My experience has been management is very hands off and allows their employees to work at their own pace. Some of the training and education opportunities are very good. The culture is very nice but a bit old.

Cons

Raises, salary, and benefits are average to poor. The benefits are not particularly good. There is only one option for the medical and it's not particularly good. The dental and vision are mediocre at best. Raises are 2% to 4%, I've never heard of anything higher than that. There is no bonus or profit sharing. Salary tend to be below average.

Business Outlook

Pros

The Florham Park, NJ location was an excellent place to work, full of vibrant and competent engineers and managers who wanted you to succeed.

Cons

My boss was seriously chauvinistic, to the point where it became clear my gender was going to prohibit advancement. I repeatedly introduced ideas that were shot down, only to be adopted when suggested by a male colleague.
