Pros

Smart, young, fun team, and an opportunity to visit many different industries and locations.

Cons

Management is leading the company towards collapse by ignoring high turn-over and concerns/complaints of employees. Guarantees are made to customers that cannot be fulfilled by a constantly changing team. No true career path defined by management, and small yearly raises that barely meet inflation rates. Vision/automation systems that are not complete or able to meet the expectations of the customer are knowingly shipped, and the engineers sent to install are rarely involved in the design, setup, and testing of the equipment. Travel percentage for the field role is high, often with little preparation or short notice. This company could be a great place to work if management focused on the internal issues and the quality of their products, rather than the timeline and margins.

Pros

Good pay, fast expense reimbursement, decent benefits but the healthcare needs some attention, good lines of communication throughout the company, interesting target markets and industries, great place to flex your technical muscle. I genuinely enjoy my job with all it's challenges and still look forward to work every day.

Cons

Too much infighting and resistance that gets in the way of getting your job done sometimes. As you can see from other example reviews, too many whiny, pampered, indulged people who think the world is here to serve them. You either bring a positive attitude and solutions OR you bring problems and blame "management" for all the ills. These people then leave the company and leave these odious "reviews" and blame everyone but somehow exclude themselves and the part they played. All I can say is that the productive, positive people who have left the company or are still here have not posted nasty reviews here. Take that for what it says.
