Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of interesting work and projects, easy to move between teams to get variety of work. Chance to work with a lot of skilled engineers.

Cons

Internal projects tend be designed around immediate needs, not long term goals. Large volume of works leads to under-staffing of projects.

Business Outlook

Pros

Learning experience, some good engineers

Cons

Lower to average pay and benefits, all work no play, expect to work on weekends and late nights (if this is your thing, then this is the perfect place for you if pay is not an issue), CEO calls all the shots and everyone follows, little to no chance of moving up. In summary this is a good place for college grad to get experience then leave in a year or two
