Pros

At the present moment it's hard to say.

Cons

It used to be a place where you had fun, built cool stuff and were changing the world. Basically one new product in the last few years. Government money going away and over the years have really done nothing to get military robots retasked and into other markets. The forward looking vision was lacking in this realm. The fun is gone, more or less maintaining the status quo. Layoffs one day and a party the next. Not a formula for cutting costs in my eyes. No communication as to where the company is going, at least not down to the frogs in the pond level.

Pros

A regular paycheck and not too long a commute. I'm well payed for what I do. Average place, standard benefits.

Cons

A good of compartamentalized knowledge, I always feel like management is not in touch with the rest of us and they seem very stingy with information regarding the company and the state of teh business. Presentation are staged to dispense information geared to stimulate people and it usually feels like a show and not really the truth.

Pros

Flexible Work Hours are unbeatable for accommodating non-work interests. The company has a lot of youthful excitement and energy, and a ton of fun and fantastic people who work there (they just tend not to be managers).

Cons

Management at the top level is does a poor job of communicating intentions and vision to those below them. The "number one priority" changes day to day and projects can be redirected or axed per whims of management.
