Pros

Great people if you are on the right teams- mainly the few remaining groups that continued the family culture established by the Galvins' in the 1980's and 1990's, which is one of true camaraderie and accomplishment. These last few hold-outs are productive yet keep work fun. The work-life balance is also good.

Cons

The company has turned on itself. Constant headcount reductions and unclear, and often conflicting direction from upper mgmt has reduced morale to an all-time low. Manufacturing is being sold off as well as most of its property. Upper mgmt has incentives to raise the stock price regardless of long-term impact. Rumor is also CEO has a huge parachute to sell the company (which has been up for sale for years). Raises, if provided, are around 2% with benefits continuing to decline and increase in cost (more than the 2% raise). They want to attract "young talent", which is rather unlikely due to lack of raises and benefits- so it is probably just an excuse to eliminate anyone that has experience with a higher salary.

Pros

Excellent work-life balance: The company respects personal time and maintains a healthy, sustainable work environment. Strong and supportive leadership: Management is genuinely invested in employee success and actively encourages upskilling. Opportunities for technical diversification: I joined as a Salesforce CPQ Developer, and leadership supported me in training for MuleSoft alongside my existing role. I am now handling both platforms and built deep expertise in MuleSoft Integration by successfully completing 4 projects. Great career growth: Thanks to the leadership team's encouragement and the opportunities provided, there is a clear, proven path for expanding my technical stack and advancing my career.

Cons

I do not have any cons to report at this time. It has been a great place to work and grow my career.
