      Pros

      The salary is not great based on other opportunities in the market, but the 401K match is among the best I've seen, and there is no pension anymore. The bonus can be awesome, but it is typically a good bit less than the "target bonus" structure.

      Cons

      A Dutch-based company with a clear favoritism toward Dutch employees. The innovation/creative design work has become far more limited than in prior years, with a clear desire & plan to move toward more ODM and contract engineering for their components. The work has therefore become much more paper-pushing and dealing with rigid processes that can get in the way of progress. The stakeholders are varied, and many times do not agree - this results in many instances of stopping design efforts mid-stream and pausing them for months and even years. Progress on innovative products have become rather slow, and often hit the markets years after competitors.

      Pros

      The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

      Cons

      Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
