Pros

- Awesome vacation plan. - Good Benefits and 401K. Compensation is on the higher end of the spectrum. - Recent Re-branding was innovative and Fresh. Increase in employee engagement. - Sales gets a lot of perks. - CFO is the BEST part of the C-suite. CEO is fine. His senior staff - not so much. - Female friendly place of employment. - If you like change, this place is always evolving! - You always have the opportunity and freedom to start a Project at any level, which is good for leadership development.

Cons

- This company does not like young people(<35). This has reduced my ability to recommend. - Not a lot of Vertical mobility. You can easily "get stuck" in a department. It's also very hard to move between the pay grade levels. - Going backwards when it comes to modernity of schedule. Work from home days reduced. We used to get unlimited sick days. Decreased flexibility - not corporate wide, now it's based on your individual manager. - No comprehensive training standard - Tattoos? Piercings? Anything about you not white and vanilla? Maybe this company isn't for you... - NO RECYCLING

Pros

401K Work from home options

Cons

I joined as an SME in my field and found myself in total chaos. The project was led by people who had never developed an electronic device, any product whatsoever. Still, instead of listening to SMEs, they had a huge ego and pushed their agenda constantly. With a lot of distractions, discrimination, and disrespect for almost two years, I stayed there. The project took forever to develop because of the lack of experience and the huge ego of those who led it. The company underwent 3-4 reconstructions during my stay, two CEO changes, and two rounds of layoffs, including the third, when I was laid off. You can guess who stayed in the company - those who led the project and caused the chaos. Stay away from them.
