Pros
They have a good benefits package and one of the best 401K matching programs. They also have a really nice flex time option. It is an alternating 980 schedule, but instead of every other Friday off, you get one Friday per month. It helps to stretch your vacation. In general, the people who work there are very qualified and knowlegeable. They used to have great safety lunches (once per quarter) and would award nice non-compensatory gifts for participation and good performance.
Cons
They are very compartmentalized, and territorial, especially between corporate and R&D. Management used inappropriate metrics for measuring employee productivity. Perception of work seemed of more value than actual work.
