      Learning a lot

      Pros

      I thought I learned a lot in tech school. But after starting here, I saw how much more cool stuff there is to do. I'm here almost a year and it's been really good so far. The other people are friendly. It's stable work. Two of the senior managers talked to me about learning new processes for products I haven't seen yet. So, I feel they're looking out for me.

      Cons

      wish I lived closer. Considering a move once my lease is up.

      A place to learn

      Pros

      The loads of negative reviews are a bit surprising. If you are scared of taking charge, solving problems head on and working overtime, this company is not for you. Admittedly, there is lot of firefighting, but if you have enough oversight you can win despite the management. The company is getting something right since it gets a lot of projects, what is not right is the management response to growth. In this company, as in any company some unfair things will be done to you, but if you stand up, show results, gain respect of the coworkers and superiors you can prevail. Regular 9-5 people are not meant for this company.Self motivation is a must.

      Cons

      Management is a bit insensitive, will not accept new ideas. Too many PhD, need more MBA's and Systems engineers. At one point, the no. of operators were about the same as engineers! Attrition is regular.

      Pros

      Fun and interesting items within the company are created Traveling

      Cons

      Company culture is terrible Employees are rude in the office as well as out of the office while on travel. They do not represent their company on a positive. I was embarrassed to be associated with them while on travel several times The President / CEO treats everyone as his personal secretary. He is not appreciative whatsoever The work you do is dry - and you are treated terrible and belittled.
