Old fashioned company experience

Pros

Extron seems to pay at or above the market for salaries in key positions (ie engineering). The company seems to be very stable and profitable but the owner and management never give details on the state of the company. You can assume since they are hiring, it is doing well. Some positions in the company can be rewarding and challenging and others are just a grind, especially with all the rules and regulations handed down by HR.

Cons

Many of the negative reviews on this site have truth to them. This can be a difficult place to work due to the old fashioned company culture. There were no incentive based rewards (no profit sharing, bonuses greater than $150/year) when I was there; you can only expect to collect a salary. Management seems to be restricted in all aspects due to the central control of HR.

Pros

The only pro I can think of was that the salary was decent.

Cons

-Prison environment -Cameras everywhere (and yes they can see when you go to the restroom) -You must badge in and badge out everyday -If you are a woman and looking for a company to grown and soar at - this is not the place! Very few women get promoted here. It's definitely a "mans" company -I was verbally attacked by a manager in front of my own boss and he did NOTHING about it. -The Sales uniforms are god awful! And if you wear the wrong color khakis with the uniform you will get in trouble. -The raises/merit increases are a joke. -If you don't go to the holiday luncheon that is literally right before Christmas (which a lot of people travel during this time to visit family) you will get fired. - The dress code is "business casual" yet the president and his best buddy that runs the Raleigh location wear jeans all the time - way to set an example!

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.
