Pros

There are great people here and the technology they are using is somewhat interesting. The benefits they offer are decent.

Cons

The company is hierarchically run, in a top down manner. There is not a lot of room for career advancement or autonomy. Not much cross collaboration or very well organized.

Pros

1. Medical benefits were decent 2. Product design is revolutionary

Cons

1. Hiring teams of people from other C&S subsidiaries to replace current employees. 2. No corporate transparency or communication. 3. As others have said, there is no clear leadership. 4. Lack of understandable salary and bonus structure. 5. Nepotism runs wild, leaders who have zero previous experience in management roles. 6. Passing blame between hardware and software departments is out of control. 7. Meetings, upon meetings, upon meetings, upon meetings, about nothing. 8. Unrealistic milestones and goals.
