Pros

1. Hard working Engineering Design and Support groups. 2. ESPP 3. Free (bad) coffee 4. Some autonomy for technical folks to develop innovative products.

Cons

1. Aging workforce. 2. Lack of turnover at top ranks with stock price at historic lows. Maybe changes will come with new CEO. 3. Top heavy with upper MGMT receiving higher % of Stock Options/Rewards. Evident by CEO compensation even though his leadership has produced no net increase in market valuation. 4. Top experienced "workers" are leaving at high rate to other companies in the area (Lowell, MA). What remains is aged work force waiting to retire and counting the days.
