      Pros

      - Immediate teammates and managers were all brilliant, competent and kind - Pay eventually became competitive - Personally, I had many internal opportunities and managers were helpful in changing some career direction

      Cons

      - Constant organizational change and churn - Always touting "Employee Talent", then laying off highly experienced and valued employees - I was repeatedly put on small teams where I had the least amount of experience

      Pros

      - 40 hours weeks - Hybrid work environment - Rewarding technical tasks and leadership opportunities

      Cons

      - The team is only as good as your current manager - The C-suites just want to pat themselves on the back and hear themselves talk

      Horrible, controlling management

      Pros

      Older catalog company that makes testing equipment.

      Cons

      My first manager had worked here his entire career for over 15 years. He was controlling and would make us spend countless hours creating group PowerPoint slides. Very unproductive and boring work. I would be pulled into other group meetings to review costly team meeting services, as if these people had nothing better to do. Next, I find myself working for a short fellow with napoleonic syndrome. He would also make us create videos and presentations all week. He also worked here his entire career. I finally got fed up with the inbred culture and pushed back on all their ridiculousness. So happy to leave this dreadful and boring culture. The sale team thought they were a gift to this world.
