Pros

- Very competitive salaries - Bonus Incentive Plan - high company multipliers

Cons

- The company is getting really political - The shift to IP networking business is not going well - Lack of executive leadership, strategy, vision, and planning - Benefits have been drastically reduced (personal time off), and my guess is that bonuses will decrease moving forward - Company hires a lot of new university graduates, many of whom just do program/project management, keep spreadsheets, track checklists, and set up meetings with little understanding of the business either financially or technically - There is an old boys club here
