Great 401k match, great discount stock program, and good overall TC. Would recommend to a friend, as the engineering challenges keep you relevant to the industry.

Slow moving at times. Promotion takes a lot of time, and sometimes office politics can be an obstacle to it. Promotions are manager dependent and not objectively looked at.

Great overall management.

It's very important to have a clear vision of the organization's future.

I'd say that people tend to be more personally motivated when they have a clear understanding of the goal they're trying to get the company to.
