Pros

The company's employment contract typically includes a standardized compensation package that compares well to other employers in most locations in the U.S.

Cons

There exists a core group of middle management level individuals who offer no input opportunities to high performers outside of their constructed group and the outcomes tend to be 1) "business as usual" and 2) reduced employee morale.

Very bad culture

Pros

very good food. The location is nice. Excellent life work balance-- because the work is not challenging.

Cons

Every month, one or two people are leaving the company. There are so many unhappy employees in such a small office. It has been like this for more than a year. The projects are very boring. Engineers are wasting their time on doing the white paper study, instead of building the real products. The senior management is busy with their own career advancement, instead of being a true leader.

Company does not value long-term employees

Pros

As a new employee, you will be fortunate to work a few jobs before settling down.

Cons

For experienced engineers, they don't seem to value you that much. They think their army of new engineers can do anything.
