Pros

Best products in its class, good engineering, A small majority of the people really care about the success of the company. Not too many competitors due to the niche in which the company operates. Offers lots of training, spends lots of money on perks.

Cons

Poor management decisions at all levels including HR, IT, Sales. Executive. Bonuses based an volume targets, not on actual good work or customer satisfaction. Continued loss of market share eroding cash balance but spending on ineffective proposals continues. Best employees seem to find other employment, leaving only mid level quality people to run the ship. Marketing needs new direction as money is spent on poor advertising campaigns.

Pros

Per diem is nice, and the company car is ok

Cons

There is no ability to effect change; processes are so manual to keep people employed that should be let go, and the company is unwilling to listen to ideas of change. Also, there is no actual product quality, their so called Quality department does not deal with product quality at all, thus systems leaving the factory untested as a whole system or software releases being fully vetted for functionality. Their "Quality department" is only a CYA department to protect them from FDA audits, which quite frankly, could be called a Complaint Conversion Department. What is the point, other than titles, to call themselves Quality when nothing actually is fixed on the products and they are uninterested in end customer user experience or improving the actual product quality and sustainability.
