Pros

Benefits were good. Clean and safe working environment. Did not have any problem getting computer equipment or software. Free coffee makers throughout the building.

Cons

Management by the bean counters. Much in-fighting by the mid level management. Little to no lab support such as engineering techs and supplies. Much of the development prototypes were outsourced and I had to do spend many evenings in the lab reworking circuit boards. Trying to deal with design centers in India and China was very counter-productive and had included late night teleconferences at odd hours due to the time differences between Suzhou China, Mumbai, India and the U.S. I was given the 2 minute notice on my layoff last year.

Pros

- Opportunities to learn through internal tools and classes - Products in a lot of industries, so you can move if wanted to. - Diverse and knowledgeable workforce

Cons

- At my location a lot of older folks are ready for retire. But there aren't a lot of younger folks ready to take over or learn. - In order to move up, its all about who you know. Need to change that.
