Pros

Reasonable attitude to work-life balance, from down in the trenches to up in the management structure; most of the upper management are genuinely nice, smart, approachable people who don't keep their doors closed. A lot of people have been here a long time, and love it. Very good engineers!

Cons

Not all managers are great at passing on info - there's a bit of a gossip flow sometimes. It can be hard to see why some people get career change opportunities and others don't, but maybe they just asked? Some departments don't work as well with others -- no doubt some upper management personality flaws going on there.

Pros

They give you the opportunity to learn a new product and make mistakes along the way.

Cons

To much cronyism - it seems promotions and your ability to suceeed it based on who you know - not what you know. There seems to be be people who have been there too long - they have a belief system built in an old world sense that does not apply to real world modern business practices. The company needs to go back to what made them great - trusting in their people to to the right thing - keep that small company direction while growing in the right way and hiring and retaining the right people.
