Great Staff. They choose people very wisely when adding to the organization. The interview process is intense and averages over a month for most employees with 4-6 rounds of interviews. Fantastic benefits packages available. Great atmosphere and wonderful people. They make sure its a very supportive and engaging environment.

Cons

Very strict scheduling, very little wiggle room.

Good company, great products

Pros

Family-owned company means that there's no answering to stock-holders. The benefits package is very good, better than many other companies in the industry. The products are great and something to be proud of.

Cons

Very slow-moving in terms of product development and speed to market. Also, since most manufacturing is done overseas, there is a big disconnect with the US market. There's an air of arrogance because of the quality of products - can be perceived as a lack of connection to customers.
