Pros

Product line is fun to work on Company growth has been good

Cons

About a year and a half ago the company made some very bad decisions. People got let go that were change agents and challenged the cultural decline that was happening. People got promoted to levels they were not competent in just because they were favored by some. Everything has now become about individual advancement and not a team effort to win in the market place. The face the organization puts on to the press and their customers is 180 degrees different than what the internal culture is. Instead of trying to change the culture (which will be hard now that the cultural drivers were let go the past few years) they search out those to talk bad about them and squelch their voices. They monitor these reviews and try to figure out who is writing them...I'm guessing they even ask or require some of employees to write favorable reviews to offset the bad ones. This is they type of organization and leadership they have become.

Pros

Great company perks, free food, trade shows, golf etc. Lots of travel, can be fun but also not when it’s 6 weeks in a row

Cons

Super cut throat personalities from a group of people. People that bark the loudest but do the least. Instead of a raise, they will give you free tickets to an event. Lots of travel
