Pros

Interesting products, lots of good people, good opportunity to learn many different engineering disciplines,, CEO easy to talk to, actually listens to feedback, empowers people, and has a good vision for the company.

Cons

Questionable strategic decision making at director and VP levels of the organization causing falling profit margins and wasted efforts for short term revnue gains. Myopic revenue focus decisions frequently hurt operating efficiency. Very odd promotion preference for industrial engineering majors and non-engineering backgrounds compared to mechanical engineering majors.

Pros

No background checks. Good for people needing a job quickly.

Cons

Where to start? Poor leadership on all levels. A bunch of talk about quality and the customer but are happy pushing out inferior product and dealing with it later, but then blame all the workers (via no quarterly bonus due to impossible metrics they have little/ no control over) instead of correcting the workers responsible. They are SO CHEAP. Cheap in pay, cheap in providing what employees need in a timely manner or if ever, cheap in benefits, cheap all the way around. They want drones, not humans. Very high turnover rate. A lot of promises and little follow up. If you sign up for the annual company picnic and cant make it, they take money directly out of your check for each person signed up to go. Poor training. Reactive, not proactive.
