Pros
Great people in general, other than the senior management team.
Cons
CEO strategy in recent years has been to promote various mid-level engineers or sales people to Operations VPs and incentivize them with obscene bonuses for hitting shipment goals.

Family oriented, good benefits such as 401K, ESPP, and tuition reimbursement. Close to home. Daily OT pay, long weekends.
