Pros

Decent pay, decent benefits, flexible schedule, bonuses for all starting this year, equity stock for salaried employees, I like my mid-level bosses a lot, they make working here so much better than some of the horror stories I hear from other companies. It’s also a very interesting job in the continuously growing field of photonics. We’re an under-rated company in my opinion.

Cons

CEO is extremely overpaid, raises this year were lower than expected probably due to the CEO’s insane compensation package. Makes me worry that the bonuses are meant to replace higher raises since they can choose to cancel or significantly reduce them whenever they want.

Pros

Exposure to major markets. Good experience. Many kind people.

Cons

Prepare to work 55 hours per week. Late night calls regular. Company only cares about its revenue this quarter. Management colleagues are mostly white men in their 50’s who play golf. Cliquey. Everyone has been there for 20 years.
