Pros
Over my engineering career this is far and above the best company I have worked for. Why? The team. Extron is careful to select competent, well-adjusted team players. You won't find prima donnas here. You won't find corporate bullies, hot heads, immature behaviorists. The work place is professional and respectful. I have been employed by those offering mega stock options, daily free fruit, come-and-go as you please, flip flops and Hawaiian shirts, fooseball, and, also by those requiring shirts-ties and adherence with a thick rule book. For me, the culture of Extron is a suitable balance of expectations. Yes there is a handbook that we adhere with and a time keeping system. But these are not satisfaction distractors, unless, the individual seeks the less professional more casual environment. If so, there are other career choices available. Have an apple and a nice day. Whenever you choose to start it. The work is ample, projects challenging, the tools are made available as justified, and opportunity abounds for those who seek it. People are treated like people, it is not a sweatshop, you can have a life and work here. Yes occasionally extra hours are required and/or a weekend day but in my experience, the work is interesting as is the will of the team to rise to whatever occasion presents itself. No, not everyone will fit, and sometimes that is not evident until some amount of time passes. I can only relate that my experience has been solid, satisfying, I have learned new skills, met some amazing people, and have furthered my career professionally and financially.
Cons
I have no complaints. The company has expectations of its employees, not out of balance with a professionally run organization.
