Pros

Genius engineers, bright observers of market trends.

There are extremely talented folks throughout the organizations and the internal conferences are great opportunities to broaden your knowledge and network.

Cons

Not really sure management understands that career development is a strong desire from younger employees.

A lot of this depends on who your manager is.

If your manager isn't giving you what you need, there aren't many options for you.

Upper management is good at communicating high level strategy, but middle management struggles to develop efficient ways to execute on these goals - leading to lots of wondering by the lower level folks.

There is no clear promotion pathway.

There is an anti-social culture at least in Greensboro since so many people commute.

Advice to Management

Talk to your lowest level employees and actually do something about what they say.

Management gets continual feedback but rarely does anything significant about it until a customer pushes us to do something about it.
