Pros

Descent pay and benefits are OK. Products are making money.

Cons

Work load can be hectic. Higher management prefers people without proper engineering degrees since they can hire them for cheap. They cannot go or move anywhere.

Pros

can't think of too many

Cons

I had a terrible experience with this company. Week to week I would get conflicting advice, direction and priorities with no recognition of what had previously been discussed. This caused wasted time and frustration. I was relieved to leave the company. Lots of old school culture at this company and leadership lacked consistency and transparency and were often distracted during our rare time together.
