Avantages
Work is straightforward and only as stressful as you make it. Lots of events to help boost the an admired culture perception. Decent amount of time off between two weeks of vacation and twelve floater days per year. Staff are mostly good people. An exclusive contract ensures there will always be customers. Free swag and wifi. Pretty building with LCDs everywhere. Large customer base provides opportunities to move into other organizations.
Inconvénients
Not the right use of engineers, this is NOT an engineering company, it's a sales company. The AE job involves looking up product prices and quoting customers. Business systems are bandaid solutions that make more work for the engineers. No overtime, instead you get a personal factor that is based on your friendship with your manager and a company factor that they keep at just over neutral no matter how the company performs. No development opportunities unless you threaten to leave or have caught the eye of the president. B2B networks risk the need for resellers in the future. I am unsettled about the path we are on.
