CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Fun coworkers, nice building and 401k matching contribution.

Cons

Lack of innovation, poor management=bad business decision making "solved" by laying off employees (temporary then permanently), flexibility is still in the dark ages (as well as their manufacturing and quality control processes), relies heavily in supplier base (paying millions in warranty because majority of suppliers cannot afford and/or are inexperienced)
