Pros

Outstanding people in the trenches... talented and dedicated to doing great work. Too bad no one wants to stay.

Cons

Rain Bird is a dictatorship led by an insecure narrow-minded over-the-hill autocrat who only holds the reigns of power because he inherited the company his parents founded. The company's problems are clearly with the ownership and the inapt leadership team the CEO/owner has put in place. A leadership team whose first concern is self preservation.

Pros

Lots of freedom and independence, not much micro management, can come up with cool ideas.

Cons

Hard to advance, people stay in their spots for a long time, remote employees excluded from advancement in general. Benefits are bad, health care terrible. 401k match is weak
