Pros

Salary is good. When profitable, they share the wealth with a nice bonus. Stock purchase plan and options too. They pay well. They have to because there is virtually no other reason to work for them.

Kontras

Middle management is the worst I've ever seen. With the quality of PMs, it's startling that they are able to ship anything. Scheduling is very weak and unrealistic. Lack of any planning discipline. There are very entrenched political rivalries and the blame game is their favorite sporting event. Behavior is often very unproductive and unprofessional with those who yell the loudest winning the day, regardless of technical merit. They are good integrators and optimizers of the manufacturing process. Their capacity to develop new technologies is very weak as it is a different methodology than the integrate-test-ship cycle repeated every four months. I imagine more than half of their actual development budget is completely wasted through a lack of proper requirements, poor architecture, inefficient execution, cancelled projects, etc. All projects have a very definite time-horizon of a few months. Any longer term development devolves into chaos. Vacation policy is annoying with mandatory furloughs, a low maximum accrual, and nagging to keep your balance low.

Pros

- The company itself is doing well financially, allowing departments to take on bigger projects - Great work-life balance culture and unlimited PTO that actually allows for generate usage - Casual culture that encourages collaboration - Non-salary benefits are strong, with even lower-level employees benefiting from the stock purchase plan

Kontras

- Despite its strong position, the company does trim headcount for the sake of efficiency - Work ethic seems complacent, but is offset by company's strong financial standing - Management can be cut-throat, but strong performers usually do well - Salaries are below market rate
