Pros

Opportunity to collaborate with some of the brightest minds in the LED industry. Good benefits Good location

Cons

No work-life balance. 12-14 hour days and weekend work are the norm and people that cannot/do not do that either go on "probation" or end up getting fired. Performance review process is a joke. Promotions are based on the amount of time spent in the office as opposed to actual performance on the job. Engineers are treated like robots and given no respect (I have personally encountered managers yelling on top of their voice at engineers numerous times) Cut throat management politics
