Pros

Environment built for growth, deals on tools, plenty of room for spend, rapid prototyping to an extreme. Vertical structure, so there is room for growth if you can manage your work life balance(or live for work)

Cons

Very young company, which is good and bad. It can lead to competitiveness that is destructive. Working with China can be pretty awful sometimes (depending on the team you're working with). It's a big frat.

Pros

It's a job if you're desperate as I was.

Cons

There are so many things wrong with the company. Nobody knows what is going on, If you ask 5 supervisors, leads and upper management you will get 5 different answers. There is really not any room for advancement unless you are a favorite. Experience does not matter, it's who you know. You are suppose to do a certain number of picks per hour, no errors, etc. or you will be talked to and or written up. I've yet to find anyone who has been written up. I've been hearing this since I started. You are never acknowledged if you do a good job, but they are quick to point out 1 mistake, nothing is done about the mistake, but they let you know. Everyone gets the same raise. Doesn't matter if you do your job or not. Also, if you work on 3rd shift, you can sleep on the job, have your picture taken and shown to HR and still keep your job. How cool is that? I left a job with the same problems. I know all companies have their problems and they are not perfect. But there is such a thing as treating employees with respect, dignity and recognizing employees who truly do a good job and actually care. But this company does not do these things and I am on the search for something else.
