      Pros

      This is a large company that tends to pay reasonably. There are many opportunities to move around within the company and do different things.

      Cons

      Management by the numbers with little respect for employees is the new trend. A very large amount of the business is being moved offshore. Opportunities and satisfaction are contracting.

      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.
