Pros

Great co-workers, overall competitive pay.

Cons

Long hours are the norm. The team runs way too lean to truly change anything. Everyone becomes a "keeps the light" engineer. Innovation often starts with executive support, but once it grows, it's too much and innovation goes out the window due to the time required to "keep the lights on."

Advice to Management

Stop expecting 10-12 hour days as the standard.

Stop trying to move highly technical or skilled positions to low-cost regions when you know that region doesn't have the skillset.
