Pros

Inexperienced senior management will help you in getting promoted faster than any other company in the area. Lots of departures will open up new internal opportunities for those who can survive.

Cons

Company is now too big for their own good, as the culture of years ago is dissapearing quickly. Former maids and nannies to executives are in positions of power and are well connected. Tread lightly when having an opposing view in a meeting. Ineffective and crumbling IT department, lots of unpaid overtime fixing errors with outdated systems and under staffed groups. Did not make the Tampa Bay's Top 100 Workplaces list for 2015.

Pros

- Very good place to get a high paid engineer job even if you don't have a degree. The only requirement is to have a friend that is manager or more. ( You don't have to be worried about HR, they have no input on evaluating your qualifications) - Very good place to get an engineer job even if you have never worked in a field related to the job you applied for, all it takes is to have a friend, or a friend of a friend that is manager or higher. (Again, don't worry about HR, they are busy with reporting how busy they are with counting resumes received on line and make very nice presentations to higher levels with this activity) - Very good place to work years at projects that were initially scheduled to take month. - Very good place to develop your creativity since you have no basic tools or equipment to perform an engineering job. - Very good place to enjoy life in a manager or director position, the only quality you need to have is to be rude, arogant and play God, (by God I mean tell people to meet the deadline or they are history, ha, ha, the effect is incredible, people are working 12 hours trying to complete your wishes w/o any guidance from you, and if the project moves a little bit, then you get a fat bonus and huge appreciation from your bosses, and even a promotion next year to higher level.)

Cons

- You cannot work more then 12-14 hours a day, no matter how hard you try to do that.
