Pros

Free pizza. Free trips to Mexico.

Cons

Search madly to find great talent with know how and then demand you do it their sorry way. Abuse the temporary workforce and guest workers. Incompetent upper management that cover up their mistakes by blaming underlings Inconsistent pay practices: Pay some people far below market and others far above depending on their degree of desperation Unethical and mean-spirited Limited mobility opportunities for women unless they're willing to do unethical things Not really a tech company --- more of a tricky accounting firm Treat non UK employees like second class citizen Hire their own kids Lots of lying to the CEO

Pros

One of the remaining manufacturing companies in Sacramento. Strong dedicated site boss looking after us. Company financial ok, make money for now. Good location, easy commute. Getting paid on time. Stupid boss let me do anything. Lots overtime is good.

Cons

A good old boys network. If you are an English white male, you have a bright future. Anybody else sit and wait. Evidence? Look no further than recent high level promotions in UK and Asia, young English white males. Blame my parents for wrong skin color. UK is king and cannot do wrong. Local is junk and cannot do right.
