      Pros

      Experience gained... nothing else will be gained. Build your resume if you must but then move on.

      Cons

      Managers placed based solely on years in service and product knowlege, zero people skills and arrogant. Managers step all over themselves while trying to engineer and manage to others.

      Pros

      Lots of opportunities to innovate and work with really smart people. 9/80 work schedule, pension and 401k. Rapid growth means lots of opportunities to advance. Promotions are based much more on contribution to the product, than time with the company, or amount of overtime worked.

      Cons

      People whe were here when the company was vdry small are disproportionately in high positions of leadership, and many of them are not that great at leading. While promotions are based on merit, raises seem to be generally the same for everyone and usually not that great.
