Pros

I got to work with smart people with good intentions.

Cons

C-suite set unreasonable budgets even when data proved them extremely unlikely to hit. Unhealthy work/life balance. Short term thinking from ceo who is not respected from what I could tell.

Pros

Work life balance is decent. People you work with are awesome and are very relaxed. Stress is very low. Definitely a place to work if you enjoy working with your hands, but also on a computer.

Cons

Unrealistic expectations at times. Pay is based on HR opinion. Merit increases are based on HR's opinion not supervisor or manager. Don't expect more than a 1.8-2.0% raise.
