Pros

An established company with a long history.

Cons

The work environment was unstructured and very negative. Most employees have worked for the company for 5-10 years which I thought was a good sign but I was wrong. Co-workers had personal conflicts and poor work habits from being 'too comfortable' in their roles that carried over into the an unproductive work place.

The years of down sizing has taken a toll on employee moral and cost the company some great employees.

Pros

There was a great team in place, where you could work independently on your own, but you had all of the back up and support that you would need.

Cons

Everything was going great until they laid off over half the company in 2009. I don't know if they increased their profits, but the company now is a shell of what it once was.
