Pros

May be a thing of the past as there are currently none.

Cons

- toxic environment - management is either ghost or micro - don’t get too comfortable in your job — many have been phased out, moved or are being moved overseas - horrible transition merger w/Tyco (WEEKS without everyday IT systems to do your job) - when employees leave on their own or departments are downsized, no replacements - HR?? Who are they and where are they located? - if there are decent raises, they must be going to a favored few - joke: 6 months into the fiscal year and there is still no sales budget - health plans are awful and very expensive - 401k match is now a punishment as you need to stay employed the entire calendar year to receive any of it

Pros

Decent base pay and fast paced work makes the days go by quickly. Lately the company has been actually investing in their new product lines ever since Joakim became our CEO.

Cons

The compensation is lacking. No bonuses whatsoever for senior level engineers even when they're recognized as a key contributor on the team. We are given our 401k match on March 1st to cover the previous year's matches so you lose out on a lot of the year's market gains. The healthcare coverage is mediocre at best for a fortune 500 company. The raises are still given like it's 2018; 3% is considered a "good" merit increase. This is due to the "forced distribution" merit increase system where only "so many" people can receives "above expectations" raises.
