Pros

Company culture is great! The open door policy is really fealt and management is transparent about their practices. Tons of free food and perks. They treat their engineers with a lot of respect.

Cons

Leadership can be somewhat controlling with policies. Security, IT, and no working from home all fall into this category. Unfortunately, much of their business is with defense companies, and while there is a lot of money in that industry, ethicality is also a concern.

Pros

The company has a wonderful core business with a product that is in strong demand and is priced well. The engineering organization is well staffed and very experienced.

Cons

As the company grows, it becomes apparent that it does not understand how to grow. The structure required to maintain a larger organization does not exist. The original employees and leadership team dominate, as one may expect, but they also decline to take input, thoughts or ideas from others who have worked at medium sized companies. The result is a dysfunction as the company evolves from a small group focused on a core business to a medium sized company with mutliple product lines. There is zero project management function, and the leadership simply cannot comprehend the concept of scope, schedule, budget. Hiring for key roles generally fails as leadership isn't capable of defining the roles or structuring the organization for new hires. The result is a massive unhappiness and turn-over amongst new hires in mid-level positions. Those who understand how to work in a broader organization come and go in frustration while leadership routinely crucifies any new hire with new ideas. Great company for those part of the small core. Stay away anyone with outside experience.
