Pros

Interesting products on leading edge of reality capture, 3D printing, AR/VR, digital twins and prototyping. Strong R&D.

Cons

Recent round of layoffs hit employees 55+ at a rate of 3X compared to overall employee base. Constant promotion from execs on value of interns over existing employee "domain expertise."

Pros

You get to work with cool software. The office environment, spacially, is beautiful. There's opportunity to move geographically if you want or need to.

Cons

Lots of long term, embedded fat in the employee base. Most are entrenched into cliques of past bought-out companies. Management allows some employees to surf the web all day while other workers pick up the slack. Their review/compensation process is used as a cowardly payback system by disgruntled peers. It was by far the most juvenile, petty, and viscious environment that I have ever worked.
