Pros

Many locations through out the US and world ranging from small towns to large cities. Very strong eithics - one strike and you're out Good blend of talent from straight out of college to seasoned employees

Cons

Secrecy in some job opportunities, sometimes it seems like who you know to get a job and that when interviewing, you know you are just getting a courtesy interview. Some jobs post, others just seem to get filled. Lack of continuity in pay.

Pros

Benefits were good. Clean and safe working environment. Did not have any problem getting computer equipment or software. Free coffee makers throughout the building.

Cons

Management by the bean counters. Much in-fighting by the mid level management. Little to no lab support such as engineering techs and supplies. Much of the development prototypes were outsourced and I had to do spend many evenings in the lab reworking circuit boards. Trying to deal with design centers in India and China was very counter-productive and had included late night teleconferences at odd hours due to the time differences between Suzhou China, Mumbai, India and the U.S. I was given the 2 minute notice on my layoff last year.

Pros

1) easy going environment. There is not much pressure unless you are working with the Innovation center. Compensation package is good and all the senior management almost know everyone working there.

Cons

Some of the people do not know what they are doing. They are more interested in getting funding for a project and do not care if the project is going to be success. The vision of the people at Innovation are very short. They have long term goals, but the direction they go are very much questionable.
