Pros

The best reason to work for any company is the people you meet and get to be around

Cons

Poor management, no business development. They try to go after projects that are way too big for the company. There needs to be a focus on filling the voids between small and very large companies.

AAR Response

Thank-you for the review/dispatch. Very much appreciate the guidance on being that filament between large & small. Good stuff. Blue skies, G-Man
