Pros

Fair salary. The work environment was OK. It all boils down to management. I didn't have a manager, while some people had great managers. Very good employee compensation package. Free breakfast that consists of oatmeal only, and huge, great parties.

Cons

Long hours. Travel up to 25 - 50 %. Like I said, management was not good. I worked for a small start-up, Pliant Technologies (SDD engineering), that was purchased by SanDisk. Just a different mentality, I guess.

Advice to Management

Don't just hire a person off the street. Promote from within. Give more training. And when an employee gets sick and has a heart attack like I did, have a little courtesy. Don't give away their job without telling them. And when they get back, don't stuff them in their cubicle and tell them there is no work. Go have a late at the coffee bay then check back.
