Pros

Plenty to do, but will expect 60 hours per week. There are some very good people there but afraid of upper management.

Cons

Lack of support, lack of guidance, everything is manual and paper based, no systems, power hungry GMs who don't communicate. Free for all with no controls. Huge wastes of money. Low success rate of getting products to market. Majority of projects are medical devices yet employees do not understand regulations or requirements.

Pros

You will get to work with brilliant engineers across all disciplines. DEKA will expect you to put in the effort, but will also give you the opportunity to learn, grow, develop industry skills, and use them to improve the quality of life of thousands of people. As a 20 year veteran, you will rest well every night, knowing your work is going to help humanity.

Cons

Nothing in particular. Sometimes remote access is a bit flaky.

Pros

There is a culture of sharing and helping. Flat structure means everyone has a say. Plenty of projects and opportunities. Project dependent, but for the most part a fairly laid back culture.

Cons

Expect about 40% less than market average. They have difficulty keeping the people that are worth it. Year 0 and year 30 at the company have the same benefits, PTO, and bonus. No maternal/paternal benefits. General disbelief that any product will ever hit market or achieve internal milestones.
