Pros

Fairly good (but shrinking) benefits. Hewlett Packard spin-off technology leader -- doesn't hurt on a resume. Excellent tech mentoring from 30-year "old hands."

Cons

10 years of stagnation. 10 years of shrinking product lines and shrinking workforce. 10 years of accelerated off-shoring. 10 years of "one more for the gipper." 10 years of gipper-only prosperity.

Pros

Opportunities to work on cutting edge test and measurement equipment. Comfortable team environment, sharing of knowledge and opportunities to learn from other engineers with a vast background in test and measurement design.

Cons

The company is heavily stacked with experienced engineers (i.e., 15 or more years at the company), which can make it difficult for younger engineers to move up the ranks.
