Pros

1. Good benefit package of 401k, healthcare, dental, vision, paid time off 2. Good starting point for college grad 3. They are one of the few places hire international students

Cons

1. When the company decided to move, they told the media first. Employees read the news online to find out our very own company is moving. 2. Poor working culture: "free-rider" issue is extremely common in the company; the company has absolutely zero accountability when it comes to work; if employee faked result to make the number look better, even after it was discovered, there would still be nothing done to the person who faked the results; there are people run some side business and always disappear in the middle of the day to take care of the other business 3. The company is posting fake reviews to boost up their ratings. Please read them with a critical eye.

Pros

Good products with large customer base. Product development is innovative and willing to work directly with customers. Base pay for sales reps is improving after the acquisition by Emerson Electric. The Emerson Electric acquisition is received positively by the customers. Internal training is good and readily available. Collaboration between the various departments is excellent.

Cons

New management is focused on running the sales organization by spreadsheet metrics vs. obtaining and improving customer relationships. Product pricing and sales approval processes are very complex. Customers are seen as captives and when they request reasonable changes to their contract, they are often denied if there is not significant revenue growth (results in bad relationships). Sales management is spending more time in internal meetings than with customers and their reps.
