Pros

You work from home when not traveling and they pay for internet, part of your cell phone bill, and monthly supplies.

Cons

The bonus structure/pay raises are a joke. Worked extremely hard all year and my managers wouldn't give me more than a 3 out of 5. The company recently changed their healthcare benefits (now doubled in monthly cost), and forget about adding a spouse. I think I was quoted 650 a month for the both of us. Also, they company really tries to make you think they care about your advancement opportunities. I have been trying to get phase I experience for the past year without any success in getting on any studies. Just promises week to week. The turnover is high as well. I have had to cover numerous visits because people have left the company without a notice.

Pros

Great company culture, excellent team support, fantastic management at all levels. I especially value the training initiatives that help in the day to day. This is a great place to build skills, especially in AI. Work life balance is emphasized and encouraged.

Cons

It can feel a bit like being a cog in the wheel at times, although good ideas do get the attention of management. Workload can be unrelenting around EOQ. Process "improvement" initiatives are constant, poorly announced, and often make things worse. Raises and bonuses are meager and do not keep up with inflation/market value.
