Pros

Company is highly profitable. selling fiber lasers.

Cons

Dysfunctional management style, fragmented departments operate in a vacuum. At worst, significant decisions are made by managers, or other key individuals, who do not posses the required knowledge other than what is necessary for promoting their own self interests. Lack of organizational structure and inability to follow basic business processes negatively impacts culture, operations and new product development.

Pros

Can abuse coworkers without consequence. Russians RULE everything!

Cons

Jealous skeevy coworkers steal, plot against you, sabotage ALL of your tools out of spite of them having a miserable life. They will literally take your screwdriver and file it in a way it wont work just to annoy you.
