Pros

The company takes good care of you very well. So if you have already worked for them over 10 years, you are probably considered a key person. As long as they would like to keep you, you should choose to stay put until retirement. The knowledge and skills you gained here is not going to be widely needed anyway.

Cons

If you are looking for new and cool stuff that can keep you excited to go to work everyday, look somewhere else. The company culture doesn't encourage innovations. However, everyone are working on their edges. Scrambling to meet deadlines and customer expectations. There is a little room for long term thinking. Everyone has to know a certain amount of project management to survive. The company feels like a big supporting team for the product they make. Not a good place to start your career, but a good place to end your career.

Pros

This review is for the RAPID Division. Overall a very well managed big company. Complex challenges. One of the last "career companies" where you can see employees who have been working at the same place for the last 30+ years. Also one of the last companies with manufacturing in the USA.

Cons

Has been company, unfortunately with the semiconductor market consolidation... this ain't no rocketship. No young local talent coming in. Many functions being outsourced to China. Frequent layoffs. Infrequent promotions. Software toolset is the same since the 90s.
