Pros

They say they work hard and play hard which is true. However, some of that does come at a great personal sacrifice when the demands of the job makes you choose between your family and the job. Could be a great opportunity for younger less experienced professionals, but it can grow tiresome quickly for more senior workers with a family.

Cons

As the title states, it is VERY white male dominant culture. This company works very closely with the team in China and the people there are all treated as children - follow directions and not allowed to think critically. The few that tries, are severely punished when they make mistakes, which makes the rest less willing to follow that path. In the end, actions speak louder than words and the fact that they have a white male senior VP in the China factory for many years (as long as I have been there). In addition, all of the high level VP in every department is white male except for HR (very typical). In the end, it doesn't matter if you are good at what you do. What matter is that you look like everyone else in management and can say the right thing to the right people and not say the wrong thing that offends the wrong people.
