Business outlook
Pros
Outstanding benefits, good work/life balance, lots of perks at campus/headquarters. Privately owned company, not subject to the whims of a board nor does management succumb to short-term earnings pressures. Profit sharing (in lieu of equity) is generally on the generous side.
Cons
Even though the company professes to be "flat" in terms of management, there are plenty of managerial levels. If you are not located in the North Carolina HQs, you may be lost in the shuffle of any reorganization - out of sight, out of mind. Salaries below market. R&D rules the roost.
