Pros

Relaxed Environment Flexible schedules We are helping people, the projects that happen at DEKA are so innovative and world changing. Many are confidential, if not I would go into great deatil on how DEKA is the future! You work with the smartest people around!

Cons

Most people seem to be from the east coast, would be great if there were more people from west coast but hard to compete with Silicon Valley and of course the weather. Pay can be a bit low, but year end bonuses do make up for some of this. If you are hard working and a key contributer you will be rewarded, if you are at DEKa to put "your 2 years in and get out" it is recognize and you will not see the compensation you "believe" you deserve.

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.
