Pros

Very autonomous work environment.

Direct management is very supportive.

Plenty of career opportunities with a wide variety of positions and locations.

Cons

Heavily bureaucratic. Senior engineers are unwilling to try something new; this is the way we have always done it. Very risk averse.

Advice to Management

We need to respond quicker to changing market dynamics. There are competitors that can do the job better, cheaper, and faster.
