Pros

Good products. Reputation of the Engineering is high. Product cycle is very slow, though, stealing away any sense of urgency within the organization.

Cons

Worst run IT organization I have ever been a part of. No vision, no leadership,no objectives other than "be cheap". Mercenary approach to staffing. Terrible "not invented here" syndrome.

Pros

When business was good, they gave bonuses.

Cons

They pay better than industries in the area so it is hard to leave even when they overwork and under appreciate employees.

Pros

Pay is good for the area. Will pay for continuing education as long as you are employed there.

Cons

Work a lot of overtime when they are busy with no compensation for it. When they slow down you they like to demote or lay off. If you are demoted you are typically still used in a supervisory capacity at their discretion. Bonus during busy times can be good but as soon as it slows the bonus is gone. The "good ole boy system" is a live and well there.
