Pros

Global scale, great employees with a passion for their work, provides a cutting edge working environment in terms of workplace setting.

Cons

Company is struggling to succeed with a lackluster performance from the product pipeline and a series of compliance related challenges that have tarnished its reputation. Continual cost cutting pressure to maintain earnings is starting to demotivate staff.

Business Outlook

Pros

Global Company that offers good benefits and decent compensation. One of the best employers in the local area. Great opportunities to learn how a global business works.

Cons

Hamilton has very few opportunities due to the small size. What opportunities there are often given to more politically agile or personnel who are in cliques within a group. Salary is lower than the industry standard due to the lack of competition and the view that living in a place like Montana should make up about 20-30% percent of your salary.
