Pros
Prior to the Rockwell-Collins era, DataPath was a company that took great care of the customer and the employee. The assignments were touch and there was no micro-management. Upper management knew their place and field personnel did their job.
Cons
Rapid growth (and bad decisions) was the poison. Rule #1: Never hire a former customer to occupy a position that requires high level decision making skills. Rule #2: The so-called 'business savvy' are not really 'business savvy'. They're greedy. Rule#3: The experienced field personnel make the business a success. Never take that success (or the finances) and put it in the hands of new VPs, CEOs or Business Management Groups. This is equivalent to handing the zookeeper's keys to the monkeys.
