Pros

Lots of Interesting work, lots of robots running around, diverse problems to work on, ranging from embedded code and drivers to applications. The research group gets into some very interesting projects.. Fun company culture, and good work life balance. They genuinely care about the employees.

Cons

G&I division depends on government funding, which can sometimes be slow or problematic.

Pros

No micro managing, you are enabled to do your job Progressive and interesting product Lot's of great co-workers Not a large company, but global so you get access to different ways of doing things

Cons

Lot's of change at executive level, so it's tough to get traction on your projects Communication challenges up the ladder and between departments Globalizing is a little painful, but then again it usually is!

Company has lost its way....

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.
