Pros

-best work culture you'll ever find -very protective of employees (the only firing wave i ever saw came with 3 months on salary to find a new position) -Accelerated technical learning for both hardware and software, i entered a mechanical engineer and left ready to be a EE or SW Engineer

Cons

-every great employee leaves for salary reasons -too much bloat makes promotions few and far between -sales leadership only hires like-minded individuals, resulting in no diversity and no creative perspectives
