Pros

Fantastic colleagues, performance driven, competitive benefits, friendly environment, challenging opportunities that bring valuable experiences.

Cons

Painfully segmented with inability to change, terrible approach to innovation, which squelches organic growth, top line sales increases driven by price increases well beyond justified, excellent sales people taking market share from competition, and acquisition of companies with similarly stagnated technology. Upper management is void of creative thinkers, who are completely disengaged, controlled by internal politics. Middle and senior managers are moved from one role to another so often, that a culture of being a “jack of all and master of none”, has become pervasive. As a result, cost cutting by the mentality that “any cog in the wheel” is replaceable, has become the operational mentality. The company is run by risk averse accountants, who will never understand innovation or dynamic decision making in a fast moving world.

Pros

- Education benefits (but access/support depends on your manager) - Flexible workplace (work hours/wfh) - Diverse workforce.

Cons

- Does not support employee promotions. Very difficult to get promoted if you are not an engineer. - Low pay, salary increases depend on manager. For the past couple years, most employees did not even receive adjustment for inflation. - Constantly loses top talent because management is unwilling to invest to keep good employees.
