Pros

Great cars. Big name on your resume. Pay. Diverse. Super smart engineers. Lots of holidays (if you're not working). Lots (almost too much) of work coming.

Cons

Launch can take up your weekends, holidays, and even vacation time.

Lack of training for the new hires.

Low morale.

Company is too large to get things done quickly.

Lacking resources from the cutbacks.

Advice to Management

No more than 60 hours per week during launch.

This could cause major health issues, since safety is first.

Have a better training program for new hires and make them feel comfortable.
