Pros

Very sharp technical people to work with. Defined sick time benefits 7% 401K match

Cons

Constant internal narrative that the company is poor and can't fully restore benefits which were "temporarily reduced/suspended" during great recession even though stock price is 5X. Tuition rembursement tied to 9 block rating (must be 1 or 2 [above average). "At Standard" performance does not count. Removal of ability to telecommute. Toxic work environment (Management by Fear and Intimidation). Negative re-enforcement applied as a employee motivational tool. Essentially W-2 job. There are really no benefits. - Employee pays full cost of Dental - Employee pays full cost of Vision - Medical is catastrophic coverage only Lack of defined vacation benefits (new policy of "unlimited" vacation as long as approved being used as a method to reduce time off for long time employees) Regular small Reduction in Force Job actions even when business conditions do not warrant it. Almost every HR policy ends with the phrase "Failure to comply may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination". Every group is required to have at least one employee on a PIP Mandatory non-compensated overtime for engineers. Failure to do so is counted against employee at review time.

Pros

Some genuinely nice coworkers, that deserve better. Sometimes provide free food BUT consists of unhealthy options.

Cons

Extremely poor communication from management. Non existent most of time. When they do communicate, you are met w/ lies. Care about profit/numbers at the expense of employee health. Impossible production expectations without enough personnel. Management questions everyone but themselves. Equipment shortage and issues impact production as well. But blame is placed on production staff. Toxic coworkers that will get on the case of new workers for not being robots that operate non-stop. Depressing and loud environment, along w/ possible chemical exposure. Low pay and small raises. HR cares about business needs, not individuals. Stretching required every hour. Optional at first, but then management started enforcing. Computers and systems always slow and having issues. Language barrier. Diversity is great, but this can cause miscommunication w/ those who don't speak good English.
