Pros

Great cafeteria with a world class chef and subsidized hot lunches every day. Many nice people. Low pressure work.

Cons

They cheated me out of my yearly production bonus (more than $5k) after I timed my retirement based on two verbal promises and one in writing, from HR people. Employees beware! This is a Marketing company and not an Engineering company, just so you know. Middle managers are low grade and unimaginative, especially in Engineering.

Pros

People were decent Atmosphere was not toxic, though was headed in that direction

Cons

Advancement opportunities severely limited, especially for non-engineers Leadership very lacking. Most managers were either bullying or too afraid to make a decision. All are too willing to sacrifice their employees for personal safety and career advancement. Increasingly corporate, focused on buying sales numbers through acquisitions, cutting costs by taking it out of employee benefits, chasing latest corporate trends.
