      Pros

      This was a great - repeat GREAT company. Also repeat - was..... Excellent management, career and corporate growth, vision, compensation - we had it all. Perhaps we became spoiled - or - read on

      Cons

      Poor to awful senior management, no respect for any employee lower than a VP (or which we have boat loads of), ~1.3 layoffs per year average with more to come in the near future. Senior management relocating development and manufacturing to Asia and firing the US based workforce. Etc. etc

      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.
