OK but not great

3.0

Pros

Some products are the best in their field.

Opportunity to travel (can be good or bad, depending on your perspective).

Pretty good pay, with an annual bonus program. Managers do very well.

Cons

The company offers below average benefits compared to other similar companies.

There is below average corporate image and community involvement, because the charity matching gift program is rarely enabled and is chintzy anyway, and there is very little sponsorship of community arts or charity events.

Little attention is paid to career development, and this is such a specialized industry that experience here may not be applicable anywhere else.

Advice to Management

Applications engineers are your main customer contacts, and they should be treated with more respect. Engineers in the US are worried about all of the jobs moving overseas.
