Pros

1. Excellent sabbatical plan (6 weeks every 5 years) 2. Excellent vacation time. Not the typical PTO Vacation/Sick time all in one that is popular at a lot of other companies 3. High level of competence in the engineering and field service staff.

Cons

1. Excessive layoffs. Large layoffs usually occur every 3-4 years. 2. Some high level managers are less than ethic/moral. Upper level management seems to have a blind eye to ethical/moral slips of other high level management while expecting high expectations from mid and lower level employees.

Pros

Excellent pay and benefits. Great technical challenges. Fast paced environment.

Cons

As with many companies, office politics were over bearing. There was a great sense of a "good ol' boys club" and if you did not belong, you did not have much hope for bonus, raise, or being retained through a downturn.

Rewards for hard work and success. You have control of your success.

Cons

Must be involved in high visibility projects to be rewarded. You don't have control.
