Pros

Plenty of parking spaces available

Cons

-Owned by Chinese -every man for themselves culture -layoffs are a constant -low morale -rare to get a raise, more likely to win powerball -good ol’ boy network -blatant favoritism -it is more important who you know versus what you accomplish -spineless management. There for the paycheck not to lead -mgmt focused on cleanliness of bathroom vs providing valid short and long term goals -focus on ‘customers for life’ yet very few opportunities to listen or speak to actual customers -not a flat organization, too many middle managers -hybrid office with offshore team members -vast open spaces in offices perhaps due to layoffs -open floor concept for workers, managers with private offices -headquarters in US but cater to offshore teams for meetings -printer market diminishing by the second -investment on niche products -very old conferencing equipment -higher focus on process than delivering the correct thing -constant gossip amongst employees. In team meetings managers and directors even ask about latest company gossip heard -smart new employees leave quickly -lots of young new hires and much more employees getting close to retirement -entering the building is a soul sucking experience -culture is 'work hard and play harder’ -training is non-existent but everyone has a tip on how you could do your job better -responsibilities are watered down, things that look good on a resume are mgrs responsibility -lots of divas in software development -decisions made by mgmt, antithesis of agile mentality where experts make the decisions -Managers that do not do a good job just get reassigned, employees get added to the 'next layoff' list after one mistake -heard about employees stuck in their career level due to one past mistake

Pros

Solid software team working with modern frameworks in the cloud. Products are simple but have complex and unique scaling needs across printer fleets and print release. Great people, even able to make long time friends.

Cons

Leadership is risk adverse. Coming from hardware their release processes can be burdensome and overly cautious. Innovation stagnates due to this but also, layoffs are a common place which creates concern and risks each year.
