Pros

The employees at the company are good people to work with. The work on new products is interesting and challenging.

Cons

Currently morale is low. There is a very adversarial atmosphere at the company. Job performance is rated on a bell curve and even if you achieve your goals that management agreed to at the beginning of the year, which should be "on target", you could still be rated "below target" against your peers. Jobs are currently being outsourced to India at a ratio of roughly 70% outsourced, 30% employees. No one feels safe.

Reorganization - lacking communication

Pros

The work done by this company is very interesting and challenging. There pay scales seem to be in line with the market rates and they do have good benefits, health care, dental, vision, matching 401K plan and additional optional contributions to your 401.

Cons

The company is going through a reorganization and employees are uneasy. As people are unsure of their future, there is an increased tendency to not be too collaborative if you think it might effect your job security. Communication, when it does flow down from the top, is not openly communicated - much is spread through conversations with other employees.
