Pros

Incredible engineering and problems to solve. People very committed to being successful and making great products for customers.

Cons

Constant change in people and priorities. Organisation continues to reorganize and priorities shift on a quarterly basis. Budgets freeze mid-year. Development shifts to pulling in project revenue. Managers continually move, are hired, or leave. Groups are restructured faster than the teams can absorb changes. In a few years here, have had 6 changes in who I directly report to, not to mention the managers above them changing.

Pros

Interesting customer locations throughout the world.

Cons

Middle management completely powerless and only information passers. Too top heavy with management. Dropping margins, increasing lateness for customer deliveries. If you want a 2.5-3% raise at best, this is your place to work. Performance/effort is not tied to raises. 6 Cardboard signs on all conference rooms for "Accountability, Customer Commitment, Invest in our Future and other BS" are all propaganda. New operations management just beats the drum harder and tries to squeeze out productivity from a procedure ridden company structure. The real issues of the company are not being addressed: under staffing of engineers and designers, late deliveries, employee training, hindering procedures, and low morale. Used to be a great place to work, now is turning into a barren wasteland of staff on edge, projects not meeting target delivery dates, customer complaints, and lack of trust in middle and upper management.
