Pros

There are pockets of really great people. Leadership who "get it", don't micromanage, and want to make the best product for critical customers. Innovative work can come out of this company, if some of the overhead was collapsed and knowledgeable engineers were empowered.

Cons

Leadership on some programs are ineffective. They solve problems by throwing more warm bodies at them, or by mandating unpaid overtime for non-contract employees. Process can be burdensome. Outlook is dim, given that the company has gone through staff reductions twice yearly, and has cut back on development funding.

Pros

Slowly changing from Waterfall to Agile 3 weeks PTO for new hires. Can accrue to twice as much PTO and it carries over year to year

Cons

Pay freeze, limited promotions Limited to no investment in future technologies in favor of meeting short-term numbers. Senior management is slow to remove poor team leads Process for the sake of process Poor long term vision Reactionary leadership, not anticipatory leadership.
