Pros

- We make software that empowers scientists and engineers to change the world. - Culture of continuous improvement means there are always new challenges. - Very smart and talented people who genuinely enjoy collaborating together. - Processes keep people from making the same mistakes over and over. - The bonus program and benefits are fantastic. The company understands its’ biggest asset is the staff and rewards everyone for contributing to its success. - The company has had the same CEO since it was founded in 1984. Jack is building the company for the future and he is someone you want to work for. - The company is very profitable and it’s great to be part of a winning team.

Cons

- Things can move slower than some would like. You are encouraged to measure twice and cut once. - You need to be someone who enjoys collaboration. - There are a lot meetings (the company if filled with brilliant people so everyone is encouraged to discuss their work with other smart people).
