Pros

High base pay to get you here. High cost of living does not equal the pay. It will seem like a great deal until you get here.

Cons

Poor management, everyone is looking to blame someone for failures instead of working to solve the problem. Cannot keep customers.

Pros

Pay and benefits are competitive. Nice campus.

Cons

Brought in some of the most talented people world only to see them leave out of frustration. To replace these people brought in inexperienced people. Critical projects are given to NCGs who are not experienced enough to cover all the bases. All procedures end with the word call engineer. However it is a data driven company, all data must match the charts. Each area has 20-25 kpis, most successful companies have 5-6. The one key perform indicator is missed "Profit". Country Club atmosphere in office area. No accountability
