      Pros

      Great campus setting, very nice people, exciting projects, focused on new products and innovation, good work life balance

      Cons

      Very expensive health insurance plans, overall poor benefit plan, way too political, personality can get you further than technical capability (which is sad), needs stronger technical leadership on projects, ineffective performance management program which doesn't reward sufficiently for technical/scientific talent and contributions, this place has mastered the art of "manufacturizing" research (which has totally killed all the fun that research can be)

      Pros

      Ability to work 100% remote.

      Cons

      ITAS OTC Manager has no clue how to manage, encourage development, or plan growth. He was too busy trying to keep his skills up and not actually cultivate newcomers and manage well. I felt alone and not supported by my manager. The environment is not great for newcomers to the company. The team supposedly has so much work, but was able to lay me off after returning to work from health event. Complete and utter joke. They do not honor their core values. Beware of this place.
