- Far too few employees, with nearly 0 middle management - Managers/directors must primarily act as individual contributors, making most of the decision making very near sighted - Not enough Industrial / Manufacturing / Mechanical Manufacturing engineers - resulting in most processes never becoming standardized

Pros

Exposure to major markets. Good experience. Many kind people.

Cons

Prepare to work 55 hours per week. Late night calls regular. Company only cares about its revenue this quarter. Management colleagues are mostly white men in their 50’s who play golf. Cliquey. Everyone has been there for 20 years.
