Pros

Interesting work projects Many good coworkers

Cons

Few opportunities for professional development As the company changed from Finisar, where a respectful work environment was highly valued, to II-VI, and now to Coherent, the management no longer cares about actually treating employees well, even though "Respect" is given lip service as a core value of the company.
