Pros

pay is above average for the location

Cons

promotions are almost non-existent. However, if you don't know your job and can suck up to management, a promotion is quite possible. 401k match is from the dark ages management is very arrogant - doesn't listen to employees culture used to be good - now there are large walls between groups company is being sold and management can't wait to get their payoff - Bethany is a classic example - was brought in only to sell the company If given any option, do not go here. Even if you accept a job, KEEP LOOKING ELSEWHERE

Pros

Have worked with great folks in a few sites that do work and play hard - like what they do, share well, open. Most managers seem to really want to work hard and share the success. Pay is good. Relaxed environment. New CEO in late 2014 looks good and will see what shapes up. Communication has gotten better. Some nice benefits in lunch perks, free soda's but many other companies are doing more perks in hi-tech.

Cons

2014 was a mess of a year for the company. One CEO ousted, interim CEO and then new CEO. Layoffs summer of 2014. Losing good folks to other hi-tech opportunities over past months. We are in a interesting niche field but many others looking to get in and play. 2015 will be a make or break year so I would wait a year to see how things go. Some reviews here mention negative reviews by folks that have been laid off but those that I knew that were laid off got good new jobs and are happy where they are now.
