Pros

Upper management has good vision and doesn't hesitate to adapt to market trends. The work environment has a good family feel. If you are willing to work your way up, there are plenty of opportunities for you to grow.

Don't expect to do your job and be rewarded automatically. Make your work noticed by management. I have a cordial relationship with my management and am well respected by others in the team.

Cons

The engineering process is not well adopted to agile principles. It's still too tight with too many processes. We need to adopt flexible, latest trends. It is ridiculous that you have to send it all the way up the food chain to purchase something small, and that too takes an incredibly long time.

Advice to Management

Don't be too uptight with processes. You have to control costs, but don't hesitate to spend if productivity increases with that small spending. Try to keep your talents even if you have to pay more, and don't let other companies grab them.
