Pros

Flexibility, benefits package (a match of 401k at 6% even if I only put in 4%. Separate pension type plan where they contribute an additional 6%. Company car. Pretty solid Heath benefits that do not cost a fortune), excellent product line.

Cons

Travel (for larger territories, travel can mean overnight stays 2-3 times a month). Company seems reactive to competition at times instead of proactive.

Pros

My team was amazing filled with smart, intelligent people. The 401k was top notch and the health care was good too. I also enjoyed the sports and recreational facilities on site.

Cons

Unfortunately, the higher ups could not make a decision and caused us to waste a lot of time on projects they ended up cancelling.
