Pros

Worked for many years with good people. Lots of interesting and rewarding products to work on and customers to work with.

Cons

The new executive staff drove off all the previous staff and started hacking and cutting with no regard for the people, the projects, or even the customers. They preach ethics, pay for performance, and teamwork, but don't care about anyone but themselves, expect world class performance for below average pay, and want everything not only done now but all in parallel. Processes, tools, designs, and products should be developed at the same time, in record time, and with zero mistakes.

Pros

The company offers good pay and benefits. I also had the chance to work with many capable and supportive peers at the same level, which made the day-to-day work more manageable.

Cons

The work environment can feel highly political. The system tends to encourage people to compete or protect themselves instead of collaborating and helping each other succeed. This often creates unnecessary tension between teams and individuals. Local management also needs significant improvement. Instead of helping remove roadblocks and making the work more efficient, they often add extra processes, tasks, and requirements that do not always contribute to the real goal: improving quality and getting meaningful work done. There is a lot of focus on activities that look good on paper, but not enough support for the actual work needed to ensure quality and execution.
