Pros

Very professional. Excellent career development opportunities. Plenty of chances to learn new things as part of the job.

Cons

Frequent layoff cycles. Upper management will swear, up and down, that a site will be kept open and then announce the site closure the next day. Many people were moved from Palo Alto when that site was closed, and then the Nutley site was closed less than 2 years later.

Pros

The benefits are great and the pay is better than most.

Cons

They care more about forcing efficiency measures than solving root problems. They want to enact "morale boost" events but refuse to ask why we were unhappy. This year they decided to devalue our pay and our efforts by giving everyone a static 2% raise
