"I worked for Wind River Systems Inc. for 14 years. My last 14 years were the most satisfying work years of my life. Great management, great employees. People would come to work each day knowing they had a job to do and would do "whatever it takes to get the job done." You can't ask for more than that."

Engineering Specialist

"I had two stints with WRS so I obviously didn't find the company or environment disagreeable, and would consider joining again if the right position were available in a local office. My peers, managers, and the technical resources available to me were always first rate. The downside for me personally, was that the company is big, bureaucratic, and in general, one will not have many opportunities to move up within the company."
