Pros

I worked there for 18 years before I retired early. I enjoyed working there because:

  • Inspired and inspiring CEO. One day I was at lunch with a coworker and a voice behind me said, "Can I join you?" It was the CEO, and over lunch, he wanted to know what we did, what we thought of the company, benefits, etc. No private dining room for him!
  • A great deal of fast-paced work developing solutions for cutting-edge problems.
  • Everyone, right up to senior management, buys into the company culture. Employees are treated extremely well and are generally motivated to do excellent work and create quality products.
  • Many highly competent engineers throughout the company.
  • Great benefits. I was treated well when I was off work for five months after a boating accident. I received full salary and my job was waiting for me when I returned to work.
  • High salaries and excellent stock benefits.
  • Unlimited personal time off.
Cons

The work is usually fast-paced and often time-sensitive, so it's easy to forget to maintain your work/life balance. A good balance is highly encouraged by the company.

Advice to Management

Don't stop doing what you're doing.
