Pros

- I enjoy what I do. - Co-workers are great, office setting is clean, friendly, and professional. - All necessary equipment is available, and they purchased some very expensive test equipment as soon as a need arose (we had one unit, but sharing was becoming cumbersome). - Overtime is paid for engineers on high priority projects (1x time, but there are some caveats. If you regularly work 50+ hours, this will work out very well for you). - Dress code just changed (Now, you can wear jeans, collared shirts can be un-tucked, facial hair is allowed, and tattoos and piercings are allowed - for non-managers)

Cons

- This is not the main site, and it could use a few upgraded amenities (Vending machine and Coffee station for example!) - You cannot work remotely, and vacation time is limited, which can be cumbersome. - Clock in/out system. Need to call a hotline if you are excessively late or absent for the day.

Pros

Good technolgy. Expanding into linux. Lots of work. Good talent is recognized. Great location in Raleigh NC. I am happy with career advancement. Salary increases has also progressed well for good performers. We are expanding fast, maybe too fast.

Cons

Few offices, most of us are in cubes. Some personell deparment memos are overbearing ( almost to the point where it is funny), but we are seeing some good changes. Benefits are typical of a Tech company. Education benefits could be much better.

Pros

The pay is great. I love the people I work with and the projects I get to do. There is always something to challenge and teach me. I feel like I have the freedom to work on different things if I don't enjoy my current project.

Cons

HR policies are, frankly, stuck in the past. Oddly enough, this doesn't seem to be a result of HR themselves. Our local HR person is wonderful and easy to get along with. Instead, it feels like the owner is running this company like an upscale restaurant. Strict clock-in/clock-out policy (even though I'm salaried), dress code, not really allowed to personalize your personal space. It just feels like other engineering companies are leaving those dated policies behind in favor of caring about their employees' happiness. Ours, not so much. It's like they plain don't trust us to be professionals.
