Pros

Making a great product. Good tools to work with. They have a pretty consistent way of doing business with established rules, patterns, and written guidelines. You can take personal pride/ownership in the product you are building.

Cons

You've got to be willing to work long hours at a hard job. Production runs 24/7, and so does its support. It requires a lot of flexibility.

Advice to Management

There is no organized long-term plan for employees. There is no job progression, and no special education is required for advancement. You have a job, and if you get lucky, you get another job. This is not a great way to think about the long-term future of the company.
