Pros

The pay is kind of good.

Cons

Basically, this company has no idea what it is doing. There is a complete and utter lack of communication. Leaders are so far disconnected from their workers and managers are incompetent. There is no clear vision. They are not doing well financially. People are constantly laid off and the majority of people are working in fear that they will be the next layoff victim. Somebody new quits everyday. For a company that has been around for 75 years one would think there would be some kind of process in place, but in fact, it is the opposite. PKI is going down the tubes and I don't recommend going along for the ride.

Pros

Used to be a wonderful place to work before being bought out.

Cons

There is no feeling of teamwork anymore. Management could be quite nasty and favoritism ran high. New manager seemed to like running things like it was a third world country.
