Pros

Quality of people you work with - very nice culture generally Not overly demanding compared to many companies these days

Cons

Don't seem to have a clue about who they are, how to get it together or find their value offering in the marketplace Keep trying to reinvent themselves but still aren't getting it. Don't see them as a major player over time due to lack of real leadership vision Very ineffective HR + some very immature and inappropriate leadership Communication is very, very poor

Pros

Decent base pay and fast paced work makes the days go by quickly. Lately the company has been actually investing in their new product lines ever since Joakim became our CEO.

Cons

The compensation is lacking. No bonuses whatsoever for senior level engineers even when they're recognized as a key contributor on the team. We are given our 401k match on March 1st to cover the previous year's matches so you lose out on a lot of the year's market gains. The healthcare coverage is mediocre at best for a fortune 500 company. The raises are still given like it's 2018; 3% is considered a "good" merit increase. This is due to the "forced distribution" merit increase system where only "so many" people can receives "above expectations" raises.
