Pros

Office location is the only benefit to me

Cons

Micro management, required to work extra hours to satisfy management, company culture not really friendly as its old time, management mind connected to the comunist era, informers really got valued.

Pros

Helps the far east economy by outsourcing every engineering function possible. Free coffee. Lots of free time.

Cons

Total chaos with regard to product development. Between ETS and EXTR being paralyzed by poor financials and weak management, this company missed 10 years of new product development, and as such is no longer a serious contender in the marketplace.

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent team of individuals committed to providing an optimal solution to our clients. Various resource groups- logistics, operations, marketing, engineering-work diligently as one entity to ensure sales success. Fantastic group of coworkers who interact in unison, support each other, and have fun. Able to manage you own business and subsequent success. Good opportunity to make money, not limited, but predicated on one's success

Cons

The corporate marketing investment is obviously not the equal of the multi-billion dollar companies which somewhat affects name brand recognition.
