Pros

Will hire with no sales experience.

Cons

They work you like a work horse. They do not care about you having a work/life balance. PTO = Pretend Time Off in their eyes. No company car and the reimbursement for travel, when using your own care, is a joke. Be prepared to lose money. No company cell phones. Your customers will always be able to reach you because they have your own number. Unless you move to their HQs, you can't move up within the company. Company moral is always low. The company is NOT transparent and only cares about their VPs, higher ups and the last name.

Pros

Decent pay, good work culture and colleagues, interesting technical work, great engineering equipment. The company/management has always been super accommodating. Good rapport with manager and project lead. Work at an IC level is definitely recognized more than most other companies I have worked for, especially when one is motivated and takes initiative. Company is also very fiscally disciplined and maintains strict budgets. This is definitely the best job I’ve had in the last 10 years.

Cons

Work may feel unstructured sometimes but not uncommon with R&D roles
