Pros

Historically good benefits, nice campus. Local headquarters for a multi national company. Privately held company, had been a strong research based company. Not that way anymore.

Cons

Family ownership loves to create drama, questionable morals. While the foundation has a great mission, it serves mostly to feed the egos of the family. CEO is not prepared to handle the day to day needs of a business of this size.

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
