Pros

Very competent engineering groups. Engineering managers tend to be technically savvy unlike some other companies. Low level of politics at least within engineering. Fast moving projects - get to learn a lot. Very dedicated people working together.

Cons

Long hours and sometimes unreasonable schedules. Lack of management appreciation on effort people put in. No visibility on what is happening even 6 months from now.

Advice to Management

HR is really bad and not adding value. HR is more concerned about protecting their backs than helping engineering groups to become more effective teams. Marketing do not seem to cooperate with each other between product lines. Marketing always seem to be a step behind on what is needed in the market. Marketing is more interested in how to divide up revenue rather than help the company move forward together as a whole. CEO sometimes dismissive of efforts put in by employees.
