      Pros

      I've been with the company for less than a year, but feel strongly that I will be able to grow. My organization is growing and my department manager is great. That being said I can tell that others departments with in the organization are not managed as well. Most if my coworkers have come from top aerospace companies so there is a ton of knowledge and they understand the importance of the casual company culture. My manager is bright, energetic and driven - she really had a vision for our group which is exciting. Compared to where I came from this company is young and agile which is great because you don't have a lot of old guys stuck in their ways. Healthcare is great and the cost can be cut in half just by participating in a screening. Free gym membership is a huge plus, made even better by the fact that they don't seem to mind if you duck out for an hour around lunch to go - you'll likely see someone in senior management doing the same thing.

      Cons

      After working in a traditional corporate environment I grew accustom to org charts and titles. Those aren't important here, but they are still important to me. An org chart would make it easier to know who to go to at times and more distinct titles would help clear up some of the role responsibility issues. Pay is on the low side for the area, however there are a lot of perks that come with the job

      Pros

      Small company , great place to live

      Cons

      This is a very very poorly run company. It is a sweat shop and a place that management uses to get rich. The communication is very poor. They lay people off in steal mode every 6 months. The management likes to sit around at meetings and talk badly about people. They promote these guys who know how to stab peolple in the back. The worst is when they intentionaly get into a mode of trying to fire people. They have lost court cases against them files by employees. Watch out
