Pros

great people, no politics (except for upper management), good healthcare benefits, workout facility on site, decent cafe, profit sharing, great product line, mobility for new hires, sick leave

Cons

very low life/work balance, layoffs without warning, new hires are all grad students, new hires are a revolving door, no appreciation for hard work and long hours (work harder), directors and above seem to have their own agenda, talk the talk but don't walk the walk (only interested in profits), very reactive atmosphere

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
