Pros

The paid is okay and benefits so so

Cons

This company does not promote anyone who is not within the “clique”. And if you are in the Colorado location you get all the perks.

Pros

401K match, competitive salary, company store employee discount.

Cons

The most chaotic and reactive place I've seen in 20 years career. Management routinely ignores technical advice and creates one avoidable crisis after another. Too many thin skin divas who cannot handle the truth, continuously trying to drive technical decisions without any technical knowledge. Engineers are not valued, treated as a service organization, 60% is paperwork driven by technically challenged individuals who get a kick of wasting engineer's time making them change the font size in a document.
