      It was OK for a couple years... not a place I would want to be long term

      Pros

      It's fun to see the trucks you helped design rolling down the freeway in the lane next to you. Excellent brand recognition. Stable and profitable company. This company sits in a comfortable niche and is great at selling the products they produce.

      Cons

      Not a place where people feel comfortable expressing themselves. In over two years I never met a single (openly) gay colleague. People are very cautious about what they say within these walls. Self-destructive, cold-blooded (or paranoid?): I saw this company fire two good/loyal engineers for utterly ridiculous reasons in 2010. I remember management once "requiring" my entire dev team (group of 40ish design engineers) to work 50 hour weeks for a special "push" with no extra compensation other than free soda. That's when I knew I had to get out of there.

      Learning to have less goals and control of my future

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great pay if you came in with previos experience and can negotiate, depending on you expertise. You can work 8today and skate if you give up on promotions. The only stress I have is self induced as a result of having personal career goals, and wanting to be copied on necessary information by management.

      Cons

      Appears to be a career ender for certain disciplines. You have to fit in with managements philosophy, and they don't like big 3 guy mentality people, as we move too fast, and express our opinion more, and expect to do more also. 2 weeks vaca is non neg. No matter on your experience. If they really want you, things will be phrased so they lure you....know what specific questions to ask before accepting.
