      Pros

      Great people and teams in McHenry its like a family

      Cons

      Company cuts employees that make great contributions to guiding the local teams and provided great support. 6 reorganizations in past 5 years all to save costs but doesn't listen to end customer. Great people let go which is sad.

      Pros

      The pension is good. It will be taken from employees shortly though.

      Cons

      No career advancement unless you are Swiss. No long term product strategy. Many layoffs this year from dedicated years long employees.
