Pros

Helpful, friendly co-workers. Minimum of ego-driven discord/betrayal. Good benefits (except 401k) Pay is average to better-than average. Management makes sure employees have all the tools necessary to do their professional jobs. No age discrimination! This is one of the few high tech companies that genuinely hires older qualified employees regardless of age. Stable workforce. Many employees have been with the company 20+ years. Reputable company, with high quality products

Cons

Privately owned. No stock option. No way to participate in success of company (except if success is defined as keeping your job...). Cost of housing is outrageous in the Goleta/Santa Barbara area. Lack of equity participation, coupled with high cost of housing in the Goleta/Santa Barbara area means company has a difficult time attracting transformative top talent. Miserly 401k matching. Low percentage, and long vesting period.
