Pros

Very competent technical staff who are very hard working. Cutting edge technology in certain areas of GPS, mobile applications and development. Encouragment and infrastructure support to work romotely.

Cons

Marketing and product development was unfocused at times, which lead sub-diviision management to jump at any work which might pay off for group, without fully sizing the costs and requirements of the project. Senior management repeatedly "fixed" strategic lapses by massive downsizing, leaving remaining employees uneasy and underresourced. Staff could work long, intense hours for months only to be told that pay was being frozen, no promised profit sharing (although company as a whole was doing well & buying other businesses), or at the extreme, people were being let go.

Pros

Work is relaxing, not too stressful. People are friendly and knowledgable. Company is very stable. It's suited for people 40 years old and above. Things tend to go smoothly. People looking for challeges/dynamics probably can't find what they want here. There's no weekend work here. There are no crazy, nutty people here. People seems to have excellent interpersonal skills. No one seems to have problems/conflicts with one another. This is one of the things I like most about the company. It's a good day to day job.

Cons

Pay is low compare to the rest of the industry. No free social events. Company is very tight when it comes to spending money.
