Vantaggi
There are lots of really talented people working there who know a lot about the industry. The job was fun for a while. With cool products to work on. Work and life balance had improved a little over time. Sometimes I learned new things.
Svantaggi
The purchase of the company turned too many decision to be about for the next quarter profits, and the new owner is not adding much good to the situation. There are a lot of people who are recently stepping into leadership and that are corporate poltics and who are not contributing what is really needed to help the company. Many engineers have been let go in downsize. Pay was not that great anyway. Many basics of the company have be ignored to maximize profit so operation is not good. Sales teams has not been good at findng new business opportunities and seemed to only sell to the same customers over and over. Career growth was not good. Culture change is needed but not really able to happen with new owner and managers who want to take the company in even worse direction.
