Pros

Pretty Decent Benefits including profit sharing which can be good if at a high enough level in the company

Cons

-Hi-Lex's biggest problem is that there is no value to ethics. There is a strong likelihood that any engineer who works at Hi-Lex will be forced to compromise their own ethics so that the company can look good. -Compensation is pretty bad, annual reviews may be good but performance based raises are not in line with the market. They justify this with the fact that there is profit sharing. -Hours are long. Company stretches every employee as far as they can. People with significant seniority are discouraged from taking all of their vacation days because it interferes with getting business done.

Pros

Flexible hours, not micromanaged, promotes within, good people to work with, close commute. Open door policy is true, CEO is right there and most of the time will talk with you about work related topics with no meeting required. Many employee appreciation events held within a year.

Cons

Performance based raises don't have much weight. The motto if it isn't broke don't fix it, well this should be true to a degree but when your using old systems that were introduced since the beginning of computers... it's time to adapt to current times.
