Pros
This is for the Wilsonville site, now Xerox. It was a great place to learn the product development process, and how real products are made. Very technically competent co-workers. Good management at the middle level.
Cons
The upper levels of management and especially those in the financial arm of the company took over and sold out all the jobs and development to offshore. I left before much of this happened, for other reasons. I left in 1996 (the year listed above is incorrect). I would contact former colleagues over the next few years only to learn that most of them had also left or gotten laid off. This is not an usual outcome for a hardware technology company. America is scared of hardware development since it has higher up-front costs than say developing a webpage or a mobile phone app.
