Pros

Xetron might be a "port in the storm". Don't be naive & think of it as anything but a temporary work place. Keep your better ideas as confidential as possible! Keep records of executves' bad actions and statements. Keep your resume up to date!

Cons

Xetron screws hard working senior engineers to prevent vesting. Unscrupulous management sets themselves up for big bonuses by creating phony cut backs to prevent workers from getting vesting retirement benefits. NO ETHICS AT THE HIGHER EXEC LEVELS - JUST GREED! Consider employment as a short-term "port in the storm" while finding a better place to work and actually have a meaningful career!

Pros

Not much pros but talented coworkers.

Cons

I joined expecting a long-term career and initially had a positive experience. Unfortunately, the culture changed significantly after leadership transitions. Micromanagement increased, decision-making became highly centralized, and employee morale steadily declined. Many experienced employees and managers left during my time there, making it difficult to maintain continuity and trust within the organization. The work itself was meaningful, and I had the opportunity to support important projects with talented colleagues. However, recognition, career growth, and employee retention did not appear to receive the same level of attention as process, reporting, and management oversight. My layoff was communicated as unrelated to performance, which was appreciated. However, after years of contribution and institutional knowledge, the overall experience left me feeling that employees were viewed as replaceable rather than valued long-term assets.
