Pros

-Compensation can be competitive but only if tenaciously negotiated -Modest 401k matching

Cons

-Utterly clueless leadership class seemingly perpetually one step behind industry trends -Strict adherence to outdated and ineffective business systems courtesy a "lemming march" mentality with parent company Fortive -Poor compensation if not hard-negotiated and demoralizing preference for contractors over FTEs -Miserably outdated and depressing workspaces/facilities -Bloated management class creating unhealthy work/life balance for individual contributors -Largely unresponsive HR department after onboarding -Preference to hire under-qualified leadership externally vs promoting from within -No real obvious company-wide direction other than "up" -General lack of enthusiasm over the development (or lack thereof) of innovative new products/services -Brutal annual layoff practices including hiring of private security for immediately escorting fired employees out of buildings

Pros

Extremely smart engineers in Oregon, generally has a decent culture, invincible brand name

Cons

Company profit isn't being reinvested into itself, parent company controls all profit. This can be seen in lack of NPIs.
