Pros

Great company and great products. Leader in their industry. Lots of smart people. Plenty of opportunities to explore beyond engineering into business, sales and other roles if desired.

Cons

Stale and outdated management philosophy. Very negative environment at times. Disorganized and sometimes dysfunctional. Doesn't feel like people are valued for individuality and personal creativity, but for conforming and being a cog in the wheel. Lots of bizarre interoffice politics.

Pros

Excellent people and good managers. People have positive attitudes and are generally happy to share knowledge. Lots of vacation time and good 401k compared to competitors.

Cons

The company appears to offload more and more engineering design work to contractors and outside companies. They also have a kind of "startup culture" and want to be like a tech company but without tech company pay.
