Business Outlook

Pros

Very flexible operations provides a lot of freedom for program managers. ESOP is great for those employees who stick it out for the long term. Easy to communicate with senior management.

Cons

Sometimes the company forgets at their heart they are a "blue collar" engineering firm and try to emulate some the larger companies or diversify their offerings into fields they are not equipped to handle. At times, senior management is overweight with too many directors and vice presidents.
