Pros

Innovative environment that challenges traditional beliefs. Fast-paced work environment. Great coworkers who all work hard to succeed.

Cons

Executive management sees engineers as replaceable. The company will cancel projects with the tides of the market regardless of the program's state. Grind culture. Bad work-life balance.

Advice to Management

Engineers play games of schedule-chicken, where everyone knows the program is too aggressive and will be delayed, but they spend millions expediting fabricating and shipping and get in worse product to market.
