Decent Place for Work Has It's Ups and Downs

Design engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There are decent fringe benefits. Employees are friendly in general. Some of the design works are challenging and in certain instances leading-edge.

Cons

Hours could be grueling depending on the type of positions. If you worked as an Application Engineer, beware of significant off and odd working hours. The pace of work for design is relatively smooth but the pace for delivery (product/applications) can be intense due to the highly cyclic nature of the business (boom & bust). Senior management is absolutely clueless hence increasing loss of market share.

Good job with uncertain future.

Applications engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great people and great challenges to solve. Get to work with on a variety of topics in an ever-changing industry. The engineers (of all types) are fantastic to work with, and everyone at this level feels real commitment and pride in what they make.

Cons

Too much office politics with upper management, which feeds down negatively to the actual work being done. This level is too focused on personal positioning instead of focusing on acknowledging reality and developing great products in less-than-ideal times. Currently the focus appears to be overly on the stock price with little care about the future of its employees.

Ok but better to work at headquarters

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Challenging work in regards to technology and time-frame (under crunch most of the time). Very knowledgeable people to work with.

Cons

Never sure of the direction of the company. Changed so many times it was hard to keep count. Not using current technology as far as software goes (C++ instead of C#).
