Pros

Salary was at or above market level. Health insurance was superior. Access to technical information was excellent. Information sharing was encouraged. Technical training (when available) was excellent.

Cons

Many US jobs are being migrated overseas. This may temporarily increase the company's bottom line in the form of cost reduction, but also negatively affects morale among remaining US workers. For those workers not receiving overtime pay (exempt employees) significant overtime work is expected, while hours for those receiving overtime pay (non-exempt) are kept to a minimum. All overtime must be approved (in advance if it is for planned work).

Pros

Health and vacation benefits are good.

Cons

Compensation is sub-par. Given a 15% PAY CUT because of job reclassification (with no over time allowed). We perform the same work, and get paid less. Yearly reviews are not individual performance based. Instead, the yearly bonus/raise is competitive to your group (a 2+ rating). This means you are required to make your teammates look bad in order to make more money. They also do not provide all the tools you need or reimburse you for all your expenses. So prepare to spend your own money to do your job.
