Pros

The average employee is nice and friendly. They'll tell you early on to get out if you can. Most are seniors so they just want to retire.

Cons

It's just a paycheck. Not a job for out of college kids. All upper management is family only; whether qualified or not (most aren't). You won't be able to afford healthcare. They are condescending. Micro managing is out of control. Dead-end job. CEO "patrols" the floor to make sure you aren't fraternizing - only working. He won't talk to you either. Horrible year end bonus. They don't trust you to work from home, so if it snows, be prepared to use a vacation day if you can't make it into the office. First years only get 5 vacation days. Years 2-10 get 10 days. If you're more than 5 minutes late, better be prepared with a good excuse; traffic doesn't count. The list goes on and on. Save yourself the migraine. Keep looking.

Pros

Good people to work with, very supportive, and easy to get projects completed once started. Wonderful project managers. Hang Li is probably one of the best in the industry.

Cons

I am not sure if this is a con per se or just growing pains for the company. Their new process for rolling out new projects through a small approval team slows things down. Many valuable projects never progress beyond being mentioned. I preferred the old way, where I would work directly with Executives and Directors to identify projects based on needs and issues. There was a bit of start/pause/redirect with projects that created issues.
