Pros

A good team structure and business "family" structure were key in making this a good experience. I was part of a few teams on various projects, and all the people I got to meet were extremely good at what they did and had great personalities to work with.

Cons

Paperwork, paperwork, paperwork. So much that it may be more important than the product you develop in some cases. I understand the usefulness of documentation, but I'm not sure if every nuanced detail has to have a novel on it.

Advice to Management

Nothing too bad as far as thoughts. Just listen to the lower-level engineers and floor workers a bit more. I feel that having the experience with the product directly should contribute much more heavily in the decisions made about it in management.
