The company is doing great despite the recession Most employees are friendly and helpful Compensation package is very competitive for high performers

Cons

Depending on organizations, work hours can be long and stressful Company is very diverse so communication can be an issue with some engineers US positions may be outsourced to Asia as that is a growing trend in the company Below market salary with big variable income that ties to performance Raises and promotions can be rare
