Pros

Compensation and benefits are generally comparable to industry standards. There are some bright spots within the company -- individuals who lead/manage. Physical work environment is decent.

Cons

Very much an old boys club. And, the mentality is so ingrained that it resurfaces readily when difficulties arise. Contrary to what upper management would like to believe, employees are not the least bit satisfied, empowered or engaged in their work.

Pros

Decent pay, good work culture and colleagues, interesting technical work, great engineering equipment. The company/management has always been super accommodating. Good rapport with manager and project lead. Work at an IC level is definitely recognized more than most other companies I have worked for, especially when one is motivated and takes initiative. Company is also very fiscally disciplined and maintains strict budgets. This is definitely the best job I’ve had in the last 10 years.

Cons

Work may feel unstructured sometimes but not uncommon with R&D roles
