Pros

This place is full of bright, innovative people who are creating some amazing products. The work is truly interesting and some really breath taking research is going on. The work and the people are what make this place worth getting up for in the morning.

Cons

Upper management is ancient in its thinking. Benefits are a joke. Management is unable to get out of its and the employees way. Bureaucracy rules the organization – process for process sake. Greatest obstacle to success is senior management.

Pros

Used to be a wonderful place to work before being bought out.

Cons

There is no feeling of teamwork anymore. Management could be quite nasty and favoritism ran high. New manager seemed to like running things like it was a third world country.
