Pros

Decent pay at one time. Good weather. 401(k) match. PTO and shutdowns.

Cons

Incompetent management, people are completely miserable since 2014 layoffs. Benefits and comp constantly being slashed. No more RSUs or stock grants. Weak bonuses and salary freezes. Work keeps piling on but pay being cut. HORRIBLE health insurance. $300 month + $1500 family deductible and 20% co-insurance after that.

Pros

Work from home flexibility and the summer and winter shutdown periods are a nice benefit. Good health insurance.

Cons

Management style can be controlling and micromanaging with expectations that shift without clear communication. Employees are held to high standards but not always given the support or clarity needed to meet them. Performance concerns are documented quickly without full context being considered. Culture does not match the company’s public image.
