Pros

Initial pay is good, but there is a reason. Reputation is terrible since company extracts a huge toll on employees; emotional & physical. If salaries weren't attractive to start nobody would ever accept employment offer.

Cons

Current batch of "C" level executives are only out for short term gains. Don't believe their story, look at the financials. On all metrics performance is slipping. Future for company is another bloodletting and eventually a new "C" suite will take over. That, or the company will be sold and cease to exist as independent concern. After initial good salary, raises are small or non-existent. Bonus opportunity is a pipe dream. Promotions are possible only as others leave.

Pros

Technicians can work on multi-million dollar multi-month projects and travel the world installing them.

Cons

The operations management has failed for the past year. Technicians working in production are not allowed to fill their coffee cups except at 8:45AM break. Technicians working on multi-million dollar multi-month projects are getting reprimanded for being 1 minute late. Operations management has convinced their peers that each hour of direct labor equals so many dollars. Technicians are forced to work 10% overtime with no consideration for workload.

Pros

Talented engineers solving complex issues on very technical equipment and hard working dedicated shop workers.

Cons

Upper management mainly concerned about stock price, stock options, bonus and their parachute . Operations is being ruined by a psycho control freak driving the "clown car" creating a negative environment and blaming everyone else. "blue collar " workers are treated as second class citizens and just labor hours on a spread sheet.
