Pros

Excellent salary and medical benefits

Cons

Management has no concrete plans, constantly changing employee objectives and responsibilities, plans change with the wind or every new, unproven technology. No work / life balance, contrary to what the company HR boasts about on their website. Every time I was on vacation, my manager called or texted me for ridiculous, "brief" information or updates that was never important or someone else could have answered. They try to brainwash you to live a healthy life better with the company provided lunches, which for most everyone who was a normal person, the food was terrible and not worth paying for anyway! These free lunches and their constant emphasis on always working, never taking a real lunch break away from the office, is really just a form of brainwashing. So is the lucrative bonus program, just a big carrot so you are always forced to work huge amounts of overtime, being available to everyone, all the time. Most of the young, high level positions, these are with kids just out of college, who only know how the work their cell phones, apps, and play with untested technology. You have to use your own cell phone for all company business, the open office and desk concept is hated by everyone, it is just that most staff are afraid to tell management this.

Pros

Decent base salaries. Due to the company's structure and goal shifting, you get experience in a lot of different aspects of the company. Past non-negotiable goal milestones, there is some flexibility, you have the opportunity and freedom to make the job your own. Good work-life balance, and commendable company goals around sustainable ag etc. made working here stand out.

Cons

Raises and bonuses not given for several years due to company not reaching unattainable goals. Lots of turnaround from constant layoffs. During my time there, I had a new manager about every year. No clear goals, and when they are clear they constantly shift. It is hard to grow salary wise within the company, especially when money is tight. You will be able to get more responsibilities and learn new skills, but don't expect your pay to reflect this. Lots of financial mismanagement within the company causing current R&D funding and operations to be barely present.
