Pros

Training classes are fun and pretty good for the most part. Birthday lunches and employee parties are enjoyable and make you feel like the company cares about you. There is an employee wellness program and healthy food options so you can tell they care about employee health. Many of the people here are truly amazing and some of the most talented people you will ever work with. Depending on your position and department there is room for development and growth. They don't really fire people here which is a pro and a con, because you have good job security, but sometimes employees that are a bad fit for the company or position they are in coast by with no consequences. Pretty good work-life balance and flexibility in schedules.

Cons

The new pay system is really messy and not fair to all employees. The ones who seem to get the worst deal in the new pay system are those who are already significantly underpaid. There is no clear hierarchy in management. Pay is well below market for many positions and benefits are only okay. Nepotism is a huge issue here. There is virtually no diversity here (there are very few women or non-white people and no one diverse in management). Management does not take feedback well. The culture here is also very strange and uncomfortable in many ways.

Pros

They're big on training and growth. Constantly trying to improve. There are a lot of really amazing people who work here and it's truly a family company. They hire people for keeps and there are a lot of tenured people here who've made this their career. Overall, it's not the worst place I've worked and there are some good things about it.

Cons

The pay structure here is broken, and while they're trying to fix it they're also trying to start a pay for performance program. It works well for a certain demo, but for the entry level and lower paid emplyees it's bad. Management says they're willing to accept feedback, but you can't give constructive criticism without paying a price on your evals for it. Nepotism is rampant. The required training is well-meant and does a lot of good, but upper management doesn't take their own advice to gain trust, have productive conversations, or manage their own emotional responses. They're moving everyone (even HR) away from private offices so if you want to talk to HR about something private or if the conversation turns, you run the risk of someone else hearing it. It's also more distracting to work. Diversity in the corporate office, especially female employees is really low. I don't think there's any kind of diversity program like I've seen at other places and they protect their "culture" carefully so I doubt that they will implement anything like that.

Make Wavetronix Great Again

Pros

Relaxed environment. Great coworkers who work hard to make great products and improve the company. Friendly atmosphere. Family friendly work schedules.

Cons

All cons can be attributed to the mandatory programs the CEO has rolled out in the last few years. Management now forces everyone to attend kooky self-help training programs that at best are a waste of time, and at worst have cause distrust between management and employees. Anyone caught complaining about these programs is formally disciplined. It feels like the KGB at times. Many good people have quit out of frustration of this program alone. The pay program is also very odd. You are now payed on your "performance", but how to determine that has never been well defined and has caused more grief than gain.
