Pros

It is located in Richmond, California and it is a nice area to live and weather is always mild.

Cons

Management is very set in their ways. It is rather poorly managed. Most new people are hired for new projects. Management consistently bids on job below what it costs to make the parts. They tend to blame engineers for cost over runs to keep their jobs. Most of the management is infected with petty jealousy and incompetence. Management is unable to get into new business and unwilling to try spending money on developing new products and methods of manufacturing. They only know how to make expensive aspheres.
