Lots of process

Pros

Good work/life balance. Fair benefits. Low stress environment. Company seems to be on a move and overall morale is high compared to the rest of the SIlicon Valley. Well diversified portfolio of products make it resistant to ups and downs of the rest of the economy

Cons

Not much excitement. If you are used to working in a fast paced environment you will suffocate here. Lots of bueaucracy and metrics. Takes more time to comply with all the process requirements than to do actual work.

Don't Work There!

Pros

The benefits package is decent, that's about it. Co-workers are great for the most part, but like any place there are usually one or two difficult people to work with.

Cons

Management gives good employees 0% raises and puts them on probation, while these very workers create the wealth that gives these managers their bonus pay. Management treats the manufacturing personnel like dogs... overworked, underpaid. Management is technically clueless. People are leaving now because the work atmosphere is so depressing. TFS doesn't care however, they'll let this company die and just but a new one. They preach ethics, but are really the most unethical, isn't that always the way? Uselss programs like PMD, PPI, 5S , etc that suck up valuable time. Corporation is metric driven, lacks any common sense.
