Pros

None, there are no pros unless your Asian!

Cons

Worst company I've ever worked for. Once they they don't want to pay your salary or they don't want you around anymore, they will give you a severance to get rid of you quietly.

Pros

Great work life balance. Moderate pay. Good people in field engineer roles in both technical and business consultants groups.

Cons

Very limited growth potential. Very average skill levels among employees in HQ Inept upper management, especially marketing. Employees are forced to read 'philosophy' that managers, directors and VPs never follow

Pros

Health, dental, some vision and 401k

Cons

Unfortunately the lack of knowledge of those in management and in control of projects is severe leading it to push out any and all talent it may have. There is no standard held, there is very few american citizens, even few women. Very high incidence of discriminations of gender and race. Majority of management is male with cultural attitudes that reflect in the management styles. Employee are not held to be of importance but instead expected to be used with little input and expect employees to be honored to work for them. They require all employees to sit and listen to a founders spiritual philosophy but do not enforce their own actions accordingly. They do use the Philosophy hand books, one pocket version like the bible. It is said to be grounds to be fired if employees do not attend video sessions of guru sharing a passage in his book.
