      Pros

      Pay's OK. 3 weeks vacation is nice. Interesting work at times. For the most part, the people you work with are very competent, interesting, and professional. Peers tend to be very helpful and willing to help. Genuine desire to do what's right for the customer and to produce good products with in the constraints imposed by poor upper management.

      Cons

      Lousy senior management that's only looking out for themselves. No job security unless you're working in India. Many people train their overseas replacements. Each year real compensation drops as cost of benefits goes up. Lots of hurry up and wait. Don't expect a severance package when you're finally laid-off. Lots of pressure.

      Great company, great products/services but with senior executives unwilling to make decisions.

      Pros

      Opportunity to work on new technology products and services. Ample chances to work with senior managment (e.g., VP, Sr. VP levels)

      Cons

      Business owners short term strategy of downsizing and outsourcing key functions (R&D, market research, sales, technical support...) to raise funds to pay debt Command and control management style used by the top executives and their direct reports = micro-managment is the norm. Execution of specific orders are valued by management. Initiative and innovation is not rewarded. No decisions are made without review and approval up through the Executive Council manager (e.g. CMO)
