Pros

Great coworkers. Really intelligent, experienced product managers. Some solid engineers and technical folks. Amazing opportunity for young, technical, skilled workers to greatly improve salary, rapidly (if willing to work >60 hrs/wk).

Cons

The long hours are difficult to maintain after extended periods of time and pay levels off after a while... you have to work more and harder for the same pay. Some serious wage suppression happens at this point. Leadership needs some work... OK relationships from some execs with underlings, but really needs some formal training. Other leaders known to be caustic dictators. Very uneven executive/ sr. leadership pay/bonus structure compared to the company's revenue & EBIT. Owned by revolving door private equity pyramid scheme companies that make money on resale after ho-hum acquisitions, stripping all dollars possible, and stifling new product development. Constantly marketing growth as 2+2 = 8 rationale. Organic growth is really a minor part of their strategy.

Pros

Like a large family. When an engineer suddenly died, he wasn't simply replaced. Almost everyone attended the funeral. Another person's wife got really sick and we all were able to donate some or all of our PTO to him while he was dealing with that. Solid diverse people.

Cons

Tedious work. Every project is hot. Projects were usually due to ship by the time the engineering department started on them. There were always big pushes to get projects out the door every end of month, end of quarter, and end of year. Whether they were actually finished or not. A lot of times they would come back as rework.
