Pros

The Newromodulation franchise Produces a great product that helps desperate people in need.

Cons

R&D chooses unrealistic deadlines which causes defects to creep into the development cycle. This also causes defects to invade the programming software.

Pros

I don't see pros today if you are not а friend of a management or are ready to work 12 hours per day.

Cons

R&D and development has been cut to one project. There is fuzzy future research and development where I don’t see any perspectives. Company started a practice of pushing employee to leave because of luck of work through PIP (Performance Improvement Plan) despite of a clear “lay off” situation. Why to pay a severance package if you can kick out employee for free (yes, based on “at will employment”)? It is a big amount of employee who left company recently after getting PIP. Guess why? If somebody likes to work in this kind of environment, then fine, good luck.

Pros

High salary and bonus pay

Cons

Everything! This company is going down the tubes FAST! Sales reps are micromanaged, senior leadership has made changes that have destroyed the business, bonus structure is hard to understand, sales goals are constantly changing, training in terrible, car allowance is a joke, etc., etc. They are firing people without any notice and DO NOT PROVIDE ANY SEVERANCE! Employees are resigning without having another job lined up....it's that bad! Do your homework before accepting a position...don't let the high salary fool you. It's not worth it. RUN!!! CEO just resigned and Sales VP was just fired
