Pros

This was a great - repeat GREAT company. Also repeat - was..... Excellent management, career and corporate growth, vision, compensation - we had it all. Perhaps we became spoiled - or - read on

Cons

Poor to awful senior management, no respect for any employee lower than a VP (or which we have boat loads of), ~1.3 layoffs per year average with more to come in the near future. Senior management relocating development and manufacturing to Asia and firing the US based workforce. Etc. etc
