Pros

Work Life Balance is taken seriously -- they allow for flex time, working remotely and unpaid flex vacation (if you want more than is part of your compensation) Maternity and Paternity leave policy just got updated and will allow for significantly more time off for moms and dads starting in 2019.

Cons

Business challenges have caused reorgs and restructures very frequently

Pros

Great people, okay schedule, some perks and benefits were okay.

Cons

Manufacturing, so always wanting more with less. Hard to please as they are constantly changing everything.
