Pros
Saying you work for one of the most prestigious manufactures of optics in the world. Exciting technology. Field personal that to this day still keep in touch with.
Cons
The place is nothing more than a sinking ship. First sign for me was when the cafeteria was removed to save on cost. Second for me was when coffee was removed from the cafeteria and you were expected to provide your own. You know the place is taking on water when a free cup of coffee for your employees can sink you. There are employees based around the US that are required to fly back to hq once a month and stay in a hotel all so they can work from a desk. Why??? Can that and spring for coffee. One is expected to learn all facets of your job with zero room for error on bare minimum training. I always laughed when the yearly "pulse check" enployee email was sent out asking everyone to basically lie saying how great it is to work there. Not a single member of upper management is to be trusted. They've all been there forever and are fixtures. How this is possible when now 1/4 of the building is unoccupied and is proving extremely difficult to rent out is beyond me. In short products are fantastic, culture and management is grotesquely deficiant.
