Pros

Workload is not high.

Makes your resume good.

Cons

No diversity of people.

Salary is too low, and people are ready to leave once the economy picks up.

Too many directors and VPs.

Too sales-oriented a company, with no research or innovation in engineering for technical breakthroughs. It just wants to buy other companies' technologies.

Advice to Management

Trust your engineering team for technical innovation instead of buying new technologies. Raise salary and benefits.
