Business Outlook

Pros

Organization has great vision for unified, company-wide data analytics for Industry 4.0.

Cons

Organization is very slow to change, and doesn't have the same efficient processes and workflows as *actual* software companies. It will be difficult to work here if you come from an *actual* software company that has a reliable toolchain and agile development workflow.
