Pros

I had a great experience working here for many years they always found a place for me no matter what acquisition or merger we went through. It's all what you make of it as long as you put your heart into it you will do exceptionally well here. Dan Burns the CEO is amazing and a man of his people there are many fabulous VPs and directors that you can learn a ton from. You get your hands on every technology you can imagine and special treatment from the vendors on any type of training/lab gear you need.

Cons

It's a big company so put on your big boy pants.

Pros

Unlimited PTO Supportive Management Depending on who you get Good work life balance as long as you don't take the job with you after hours Work from Home Hands on Training - could still use improvement Annual pay increase

Cons

2 layoffs in a year when they keps saying everything was fine.... Laying off core contributors so now everyone who is left is doing the work of 2-3 people and not being compensated accordingly Only way to get a worth while pay increase is to move up in the company the annual increases are not inline with inflation or cost of living
