Pros

Very knowledgeable staff, interesting work and products.

Cons

Things have really gone downhill since the acquisition. Many people have quit, many other have been "let go". Some departments have had a near 100% turnover. Letting people go without any reasoning or notice and not even doing it in person in inexcusable. They have created a toxic and uncomfortable environment.

Pros

1) Smaller company feel with more opportunities to advance your career faster than a large company. 2) Generally positive changes from leadership the last 3 years. 3) Growth outlook for all sites is very good. Current ownership is focused on growing the business.

Cons

There has been a lot of change over the years - acquisitions and leadership changes. The company will be sold again soon. However, Advent doesn't like to sell to sharks who will steal the technology and let go of the people. Advent has a reputation to uphold in that regard. A lot of the negative reviews came from sudden culture changes a few years ago. Many benefits and policies are now in line with industry standards, for better or worse.
