Pros

The people. You do truly work among an extremely passionate group of individuals that want to innovate and build the coolest products out there. The work culture is awesome, everyone is into super rad hobbies and very active. Neil Fiske, the new CEO so far seems great and is someone that seems to truly care about everyone and is willing to listen.

Cons

Very little room for career growth. Management seems to think the reason why the company doesn't reach it's goals is because we don't have enough managers and meetings. Teams are stretched super thin and additional personnel aren't hired to help offload the work. Every excuse in the book is used as to why raises or bonuses don't happen meanwhile upper management wastes money away on travel, industry events, electric car chargers, etc. Favoritism is also a big issue among both product categories and certain individuals. If you're "bros" with the right people I'm sure it's great. As a male employee I'm not affected but I have seen situations where women aren't taken as seriously as men with the same titles.

Pros

Schedule that’s the only pro

Cons

Take advantage of every employee!! They make u come in sick but then everyone with compromised immune system get very ill they write you up!!! When I was there they had lost 4 employees and now I’m still in touch with a lot of them and 3 more have quit and another looking for another job because they don’t pay enough and expect you to your job description as well as others while managers just sit at desk (they call it bull pin) they made over $20 million in November but refused to give any raise or bonus!! When they fired myself and another great employee they did so and ended up having to pay us unemployment because they fired us unlawfully
