Pros

Decent starting salaries.

Used to be a leader in the auto industry.

The breadth of knowledge of technical people is very good.

A good place to gain expertise in different areas.

Cons

Old boys club. Financial management is the focus. Salary growth is far below outside industry for technical people. There is no support or recognition from management. Employees are just a cost to be contained.

Advice to Management

Think long term. Concentrate on product, not on finance. Finances will take care of themselves once the product is good. Top management should be product people, not finance people.
