Pros

Excellent technology, still a lot of great people(for now), relatively recession proof.

Cons

With a massive market share and hefty profit margins this should be a slam dunk to rate well above 4 but current rating well below 4 speaks to current top management and owners. Trend is longer hours for less reward for most. Any increase in profits has been through reducing benefits, salaries, and headcount. Nothing creative or admirable about that.

Pros

Stable company with people that want to make a difference. Great place to learn about manufacturing practices.

Cons

No clear job roles and the company tries to squeeze work out of lower level engineers.
