      Pros

      Quarterly bonuses, free soda/coffee, casual dress code, occasional parties with free drinks

      Cons

      - No room for advancement in most departments - Unless you have an Ivy League education don't expect a promotion - Many upper management positions are held by young Ivy League grads with little to no experience - Sales department gets all the glory. Training, Manufacturing, and Testing departments are treated like second class citizens. - Despite the ludicrously high margins on the weapons they continue to try and drive costs lower, rather than focusing on quality. - Very little energy is spent maintaining/improving existing products, once a product gets past the R&D stage there is no budget for fixing problems - They say you have unlimited PTO, but there is a lot of pressure to keep working and there is a very good chance you'll be called during your vacation if you're ballsy enough to take one.

      Stressful. Some of the upper management act like toddlers with real life tantrums in the office.

      Pros

      Employees are the best part of the job. I just wished the leadership had a true understanding on how to run a company.

      Cons

      Oh man. Let’s take employees on a trip to the Grand Canyon and then a few months later lay them off. It’s so much easier to lay off employees instead of correcting behaviors around spending so much money. Don’t worry you guys are going to see your star wars movie this Christmas while I am looking for a new job and attempting to give my kid a fun and enjoyable Christmas.

      Pros

      Great opportunity if you are hard working, ambitious and like working in technology.

      Cons

      The only way you will experience growth is if you are connected to an executive in the company or you are a white male.
