Salary was great. Location is easy to get to. Loved the mission of the company.

Cons

The supervisors micromanage. They don't train you very well but expect you to know how to do the job.

Miserable. Management would not enable, but expected quick results.

Pros

Very smart people! Dynamic product lines!

Cons

Knee jerked around so much, got whiplash! Management would not effectively enable people to do job properly, but expected quick results like they had unlimited resources. Would not see reality.

Pros

Benefits were great, especially the company shutdown during the December holidays; getting that extra week off was amazing. The campus was nice too, with a large park in the middle that was nice for lunchtime relaxation. Onsite Fitness center with state of the art equipment and fitness trainer was a bonus too.

Cons

Management talked the talk, but didn't quite get around to walking the walk. HR way too supportive of management at the expense of long term employees. The cafeteria good used to be good, but a change in suppliers caused the quality and value to drop significantly, and it was less expensive and nicer to go off campus to eat.
