Pros

Pay is great for those who excel.

Some very fun opportunities arise if you are in the right spot at the right time.

Cons

The culture has changed significantly over the past 5-7 years. The company was formerly focused on customers (externally) and improving our engineering (internally).

However, over the past 5 years or so the trend has been to focus on immediate, short-term dollars rather than long-term potential. This has had a very detrimental effect on employee morale, and the management/employee rift has never been greater.

Advice to Management

Strive to be an engineering company once again, rather than a widget company focused on the immediate bottom dollar. Return to what made us profitable for nearly 100 years rather than the post-it note mindset we've moved to.
