      Pros

      Awesome people to work with. Job isn't physically demanding. Class "A" production facility, meaning carpeted floors, bright place with windows, and being able to sit down and build stuff without being yelled at. You can listen to your personal mp3 players, or chat on the phone, or with other people as long as you're getting the job done!

      Cons

      Just the normal bickering between employees that you'll find anywhere. You can work there for years as a temp before you actually get hired, if ever.

      Pros

      Good people and products. Good vacation and holidays. The benefits are OK, not great. R&D, engineeering, production and sales good. Marketing needs help.

      Cons

      Worst HR dept I have seen. PMD process is absolutely terrible. MBA everyone!, Real bad ex GE managers took over a once good company.Only top people get stock options so Casper can get 33M. Avoid this place please.

      Pros

      Good benefits package. Paycheck. 6% 401k pay matching.

      Cons

      Poor technology provided to employees (considering this is a SCIENCE company). Horrible management who make poor decisions without feedback from the people who will be affected. Profits are all that matter - this is truly a quantity over quality environment. Not attracting or holding onto the best and brightest due to poor work/life balance, lack of positive feedback, lack of incentives, lack of perks, poor decision-making, poor compensation, and any other attempts to make the workplace more enjoyable.
