Good place to start...

Pros

Good compensation, plenty of work to do.

Cons

There is no motivation and no culture to pursue higher learning, as demonstrated by the measly $600 a semester that they give for education reimbursement. There are lots of inter-departmental issues due to a lack of a strong internal interaction philosophy. It's every department for itself, so managers often set the mood for how to behave/interact with other departments or co-workers. And this mood is often not so great... There are plenty of horror stories besides the reviews on here but, so far, I have not experienced any first-hand. When I was interviewed I was told not to question the systems that Extron has established because they work and I was being hired to learn them, not change them. At that point I knew -- and decided -- that I would not be here very long.

Pros

Good training program for Sales team.

Cons

-No possibility for real growth in the company. -Inflexible time consuming policies regarding taking time off, taking holidays etc.. There is a form for everything. -Decisions are all made centrally (US) European location works simply as a support office following orders. -No room to practice critical thinking - there is one way to do things which should be followed. -Company is generally fearful of HR and being fired constantly. -Company only hires people who are non-smokers (which is illegal) - there are plenty other inappropriate questions that are given from HR and management.

Pros

a good challenge to learn product and keep up to date, compensation, internal training. If you are a very compliant rule-follower devoid of creativity or ambition, this job is for you.

Cons

very political environment. Internal company relationships trump capabilities every time. No career path. The Peter Principle seems to apply for sure. Stay away from the Anaheim office if you must work for Extron.
