Pros

Cutting edge technology, some cool people to work with

Cons

Health benefits suck, management is incompetent, managers are appointed based on whether they play cards with directors or are abject bootlickers. Most of them have no technical experience and rely on that one person who is trying to get promoted and who agrees with them, even though it is usually wrong.

Pros

Nice and fun people to work with Good work time freedom Job security Decent pay Decent benefits Good financially Good market development Innovation

Cons

Communication needs improvement----executive decision on production development changed when everything is ready to prototype after they agreed on the direction one month ago. Inter-department cooperation could be improved----take long for people to understand each other. Take changes very cautiously, a good thing and a bad thing at the same time. Documentation on decision, direction and knowledge could use some improvement.
