Great job now, but career doesn't look promising.

Business Outlook

Pros

Exciting work in a high growth company. Good pay. Good entry level job. Work 40+ hours a week with very little travel.

Cons

Unrealistic schedules. Poor communication between management and employees. There's no real technical career path (even though one has been in the works for close to 2 years, it has yet to be put in place and we've been assured it won't affect salary). Engineering (SW/HW) positions are growing faster in India, but it's still mostly Product Acceptance. Very little exposure to customers. Our measly bonus plan was done away with last year not that it mattered much as it was only about $250.

Great place to start your career. Tradeoffs - pay and extreme workload demands.

Business Outlook

Pros

Personal growth and development. No shortage of opportunities to "stretch" yourself. The organization is so leanly staffed, that you get an opportunity to participate in everything.

Cons

It's a machine. Extremely short-term, financial focus. The work/life balance seem to only apply to select groups, for PR purposes. In reality, too much "life" focus will leave you behind, or out. Haven't seen less than 50 hrs/week in years. "pay at the 50% of market,"
