Pros

- rational workplace. People are smart - awesome in house training opportunities - Culture of root cause analysis to prevent a whole class of problems - Processes put in place so next time around that activity goes a whole lot smoother

Cons

- growth in the company can take time. They don't promote people too fast which might be a good thing. Sometimes in other companies people with lot less reports and responsibilities have a higher title. So in that way this company is more conservative.

Pros

Opportunity to work with bright people on tools that make a real difference in the worlds of science and engineering. Great to see all the amazing applications and products built with our tools, and the people helped by them. Collaborative work environment. Company really lives by its values. For example, "Continuous improvement" means continuously improving our products, and also giving employees opportunities for self improvement. Very good work/life balance. Excellent campus.

Cons

While there are understandable and admirable processes in place to ensure quality and ensure ample consideration of decisions, there are times that these processes seem unnecessarily burdensome.
