Pros

Exciting place to work as they take on challenging projects. Opportunity to work with different types of industry, great place to learn. Opportunity to work closely with people from different engineering discipline. Opportunity of doing project management work. Work schedule is somewhat flexible.

Cons

Salary is decent but very limited benefits with no 401K match or profit sharing (most years). Emphasis on working more than 40 hours every week sometimes implied that employees are expected to work more than 40 hours every week. No rewards for working more than 40 hours for salary positions. Limited paid time off (80 hours of vacation and 40 hours of PTO) Departments are understaffed and current employees all work more than 40 hours to make up the difference without any overtime or any other form of compensation.

Pros

High tech industry. Great amenities. Family atmosphere. Smaller company, nimble. CEO/founder is a great. Fair, smart, deliberate, open, generous, etc. Many employees are super smart and for the most part everyone is pulling the rope in the same direction. There are several employees that have been here for 20-25 years. That says a lot.

Cons

CEO is very involved in most functions. Usually very beneficial. Sometimes slows us down. We use some legacy systems that have seen better days.

Pros

Always something to learn from the new projects coming out onto the floor.

Cons

pay and benefits leave a lot to be desired. It is surprising given the high tech nature of the company and skill required at all stages in manufacturing.
