Pros

Great Product. High product reliability.

Cons

This is just a very bad company to work for. Company culture is toxic! There is no teamwork. The environment is one that everyone is walking on eggshells. Upper level management manages by fear. Middle level management just follows exactly what the upper level managers dictate. Managers do not think for themselves or have any input. HR is one of the main problems. They are not trusted by the employees with good reason. I have been to HR (in confidence) on numerous occasions with issues only to have them go straight to my director and report to them my concerns (using my name). Extremely unprofessional!! This is the primary reason there is such an extremely high turnover rate!

Pros

Good benefits, company matching for 401k

Cons

Toxic work environment where we are required to work overtime to meet project deadlines but are not compensated fairly. Bonuses are not always paid out even for stellar performance.
