Lots of opportunity for professional development, for patient had working individuals who know how to navigate work place politics. Strong profitable company, with intensive customer connections. Lots of travel opportunity to customer sites (especially in far east). People often take a personal holiday after the customer engagement is finished.

Work can get very pressured. Dead lines are treated very seriously. Its part of what makes the success with customers.

Pros

Strong place to start your career. If you do the Fusion Program you will learn a lot. Good training and benefits. Amazing Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Coworkers are smart and grounded people.

Cons

Stingy with salary, raises, and promotions. The engineer roles are broken up into Jr and Senior so the title progression goes Engineer I, I Sr, II, II Sr, etc which slows career progression and pay. Only the CA office gets extra pay due to the expense of living there, even if the MA office is expensive.
