Pros
Nice people. Very relaxed environment. Deadlines are about as soft as you can imagine. Very little overtime requirements. Very stable position-no history of layoffs and you have to kill someone before they fire you.
Cons
Control Systems was bought out in March 2012 by FMC Technologies. The health insurance now stinks, the beer fridge is gone, corporate lunches are now gone, and the corporate overhead has been brought in. There is an "us" vs "them" mentality in regards to the accountants/leaders FMC has brought in. Also, the technology/languages used is far from the latest and greatest.

Pros
Challenging tasks, intellectual discussions, and beer--lots of beer. Oh, and lunch. The employer offers free beer, as much as you want, as often as you want--but only after work hours and it must be drank on premises (obviously). Also, if you work over the lunch hour (which you will--there are no restaurants anywhere around), then CSI will buy you lunch. They order it in from various restaurants around the area. Three-day weekends every other week (although that comes at a price).
Cons
They are very inflexible about arriving late or leaving early--no making up the time is allowed. Instead, you must take "PTO"--paid time off--which is, admittedly, unlimited. However, while it is unlimited, it is watched by management and people who take more time off than they should are negatively reviewed. (60 hours per year seems to be the point where they start raising their eyebrows.) Plus the 7:30-5:30 schedule is unforgiving when it comes to family time. Got kids? You won't see them except for supper time and bed time. School functions? That comes out of the PTO. Also, being a small company, there's no chance for promotions or advancement.
