Pros

None, it is a horrible place. The free lunch and breakfast is the same stuff every week, gets to the point you go out and pay for lunch or bring from home.

Cons

1. Work environment has gone from cubicles to open concept, rows upon rows of small tables (not even a desk) in a large noisy room. Impossible to concentrate with all the teams meetings going on all day. 2 Took away accrued vacation, so as they are currently have large layoffs they don't have to payout vacation time. 3. Offered stock to all employees and optional stock purchase thru payroll, but laying everyone off before they are vested for being able to benefit. 4. Management constantly hired, fired, demoted and/or leave. 5. No iso certification, so no regulations or procedures on how things should be done. This leads to poor work quality and ethics. 6. Decided to outsource manufacturing so that is the a large part of who is being laid off, but layoffs affecting all departments. 6. For a company that is supposed to be successful and just went public, they seem to be doing everything they can to make the people they don't layoff want to quit.
