Pros

If you're willing to put up with all of their shortcomings (too many to list here), then you can stay forever. 130 hours of PTO per year, family trip, Christmas party, quarterly events.

Cons

Their compensation plan falls well short of the industry average, especially for Silicon Valley. For an ISE, their starting salary is around $56K + a paltry 1.5% commission if you meet their absurd $1.5M quotas. The entire organization is run by Chinese women who can be very hostile towards white American males. They absolutely prefer to hire Asians, any type of Asian (Chinese, Vietnamese, Philippine, Korean... as long as you're not white. Their NPI is horrible. They introduce products when there are no manuals, optional accessories or even simple things like power supplies, Flash storage modules or memory available for months.

Pros

Great people. Generous with company events and lunches. The industry is doing well with the AI/ robotics boom.

Cons

Pay sits well below industry standard. PTO is mandatory on holidays. Strong emphasis on tenure, with 401k vesting taking three years.
