Pros

The fellow engineers are patient and helpful, and they are very willing to spend an hour to help you even though it's not actually related to their personal duties. Most people I met were friendly and nice, and I felt welcome.

Cons

You might need a rather high position or strong background to make your opinion matter--but that's kind of true in many other places.

Great product and people, but majorly under resourced

Pros

The people (for the most part) are great, benefits are good, and the product truly is incredible.

Cons

Upper management seems to have unrealistic expectations for productivity, and the reluctance to invest in additional resources is crippling and demotivating for those who are working so hard to meet deadlines. People who have been promoted from within aren't getting paid what people get when coming into similar positions from the outside. The morale is low...and not much is being done to improve it.

Work 12-14 hour days. Nothing is ever enough.

Pros

Growth Company - if you can negotiate your incoming salary. Then you might have enjoy. With growth comes opportunities, as long as they are willing to hire from within. Good medical and dental plans, but compensation is something to be desired.

Cons

No Work-Life Balance Compensation - terrible after you join Leadership opportunities - minimal, prefer to hire from outside then hire from within.
