Pros

Engaging work, on paper the mission of the company is good

Cons

Every few months we either get a new manager in the chain, or the chain is rearranged. Significant management are all external hires that do not understand our workflow or even what we do. You can't sail to an island if your captain doesn't k ow what an island is.

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.
