Pros

Great coworkers they work really hard.

Cons

Management does not know what they are doing. Way to many mistakes and no salary raises in the past 2 years and no bonuses in the past 3 years. Everyone is over worked and they have more than one job they do. No appreciation for the blue collar worker.

Business Outlook

Pros

The products are high-tech instrumentation, which offers a variety of interesting and challenging problems to work on. The site I worked at (near Santa Barbara, CA) builds Atomic Force Microscopes, which consist of advanced electro-mechanical nano-positioning systems, low noise analog and mixed-signal electronics, and fairly complex software. So a lot of opportunity to learn.

Cons

Management has a really hard time focusing, which means a constant stream of conflicting priorities. Many of the systems are based on aging platforms (older DSPs / FPGAs, bloated and unmaintainable application codebase). In recent years many of the better engineers have left, but there are still good people there as well.
