Pros

Good as backup job until you find new one. Good for fresh startes with no family. This place had good laid back culture but some new faces in management created havoc forced to leave longtime good people who.actually worked hard to make company successfull. I regret spending 5 years of my prime career at this place as when time came to move up in ladder new management created thier own lobby keeping like us at the gate.

Cons

Pay more and hire good directors who has vision not the ones who are interested only making their career. Stop Favoritism killing culture of equality. I know of one director literally doesn't know what he is talking in front of seasoned cutomers. This is the level of engineering knowledge base. Be ready for discrimination and disrespect. Do and act exactly what your director/manager want.

Pros

Certainly a lot of good hard working people. Most are friendly and willing to help out to train and assist even outside their functional area. If you want to work long hours each week they will promote you though know with each promotion the responsibility and commitment get worse.

Cons

Work life balance, salaries are lower than market, not clear goals - they pay lip service to goals though it is all about the short term numbers and bottom line at the expense of long term goals that can improve the business in the long run. Prime example is how they handled the implementation of their new computer system.

Pros

Advancement opportunity OK if willing to work lots of hours and management likes you Lots of good people at middle to lower levels

Cons

Too much office politics at senior management level Very little recognition by senior management Inconsistent with treatment of departments and employees Compensation package below average. Promote the bonus which in not consistent and capped Talk about team effort but evaluation is all about individual and department accomplishments. No reward for helping other employees or departments - actually works to disadvantage because it takes time away what you could accomplish for yourself, which is all that is rewarded Imbalance in work/life ratio Too heavy VP to employee ratio Use employees to take everything out of them, and then will figure out a way to let them go when done with them Cannot trust senior management
