Business Outlook

Pros

Location, other than that nothing really interesting.

Cons

Ton of work for a pay of little. The manager and supervisors are always on your shoulder even though they have a tracking record of your work. This company is selling junk to their customers. There is no place for quality only numbers. It doesn't matter how you do it the management want numbers.

Lots of hours, not much recognition.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of interesting high-tech projects, with unique requirements for each of them. Stable work environment with a long history.

Cons

Seem to be constantly reacting to issues, rather than proactively improving business processes. Forced normalization of salaries means someone is always going to feel like they are getting the shaft.
