Pros

Benefits, Salary, Creativity, Entertainment, Weather

Cons

No new developments by R and D Departments. Stop buying start up companies and put the money into a new product that our own has developed. Get new sales people. To many young unexperienced techs and engineers. No mentoring programs. ECPD's are self centered and lack team work recognition.

Pros

Company investing in new products and higher growth markets

Cons

Over the past five years, there has been a significant decline in employee loyalty and incentive programs. Equity compensation, such as stock options and RSUs, was previously accessible to mid-level managers but is now strictly reserved for directors and above, reducing long-term incentives for a large portion of the workforce. Additionally, an increase in micromanagement and administrative red tape—particularly regarding strict scrutiny on all spending—has hindered productivity. The frequent practice of cutting budgets to meet short-term quarterly Operating Income (OI) targets is ultimately compromising our long-term revenue growth.
