Pros

Can-do engineering, mfg, and service groups. Great technology, with best-in-class products.

Cons

Completely delusional senior management - they directed engineering and research on what products to develop, then blamed them when the products (that met all specs) didn't hit market needs. HR is a joke...only think of employees as 'cost centers' and have a goal to eliminate them. No training programs. No advancement. Spent $5/person on Christmas party in 2015 and were proud 'to help contain costs' while management enjoys $200 bottles of wine at 5 star restaurants during the overly frequent 'strategy' or 'sales training' or 'apps training' or 'planning' or 'review' meetings. The only HR person who was am employee advocate was fired! Programs are scheduled too aggressively, understaffed, and marketing group doesn't understand the markets (none over 2 years experience) and thus continually fail. Don't work here!
