Pros

Good people and facilities. Very interesting work and smart engineers who are willing to share their experience and expertise. Nice office facilities (Eden Prairie).

Cons

Has gone terribly down hill since Chip Emery left. Laura Hamilton and those who followed her are solely focused upon their bonuses and the current quarterly results. They have limited understanding of what the company could become if they allowed innovation to flourish rather than add layers of management and bureaucracy. Just look at the SGA as a % of sales to see what is happening. When the economy cools the heads will roll.
