Pros

The people and mission are great

Cons

Leadership and strategic direction is amateurish. CEO won't retire, he spends maybe 2 days a month in the office. CFO won't cut costs in his own department, yet all other departments are cut to the bone. The only deliverable is a calendar full of meetings to talk about stuff that isn't getting done. Company runs hundreds of major projects at the same time with no clear focus or leadership.

Pros

The work is interesting. Some decent travel is available if desired. If you work hard and set yourself apart from others you can earn a promotion.

Cons

It’s all about who you know. All responsibilities fall on Engineering. Engineering does much more than “engineer” and spend too much time on stuff that admin staff “should be able” to do. When something needs to change the usual solution is to have Engineers be responsible for it because many non-engineers can’t handle mediocre tasks.
