Pros

Free Caribou coffee. That is all I can come up with. Benefits are good. Things were starting to look positive but EVERYONE has seen things steadily slide back to where it was. A good old boys (GOB) company with the good old boys not having much skill or talent. What a crying shame. Just when it looked like things were going to change.

Cons

President might be the worst speaker I have ever heard. No ability to inspire anyone. Totally fake. Lots of rumors about his behavior in days gone by but nothing he does makes you think anything has changed. The only reason people go to the town halls is to play cliche or corporate speak bingo when he talks. He talks and says nothing. This is a company that wanted to remake itself after all their legal issues but there is no change, just words. The GOB's just can't get it done. They do what they know and it doesn't work. The company's financials are in the tank but they executives continue to stand in front of us and tell us how great they are. Most of the good people are looking for other employment. The people that have been there forever will likely stay forever.

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
