Pros

- R&D gives a lot of responsibility to engineers of all positions, which I find very fulfilling - Strong culture aided by no fear of lay-offs and minimal politicking - Most managers are effective and not just buzzword generators - Great opportunities to get involved in the community, especially with education

Cons

- Improving, but still sub-standard infrastructure - Slow advancement - Low Starting Pay - Extremely low raises - Bonuses are calculated on an expectation of 40% organic growth
