Pros

Great company, great culture, and great people. Solid product offering. Benefits are good. Work from home. Very competitive salary.

Cons

There have been several rounds of layoffs in the past and with the BD acquisition, there have been more and it appears even more to come. Lots of travel associated with most field based positions. Work life balance not so great. Hard to disconnect and enjoy time off.

Bad Management

Pros

Good Benefits and the location was good. The salary was marginal but within the lower median. Interaction between departments was pretty good.

Cons

Prejudice and bigotry still exist within the ranks. Be careful if you’re a female in engineering, especially if you’re of color. Your forced rating marks will be low. The engineering department can't deliver anything on time or working well. Replace management and you'll stop loosing customers like Quest. i.e. Quest removed BD all together. That should say something too..
