Business Outlook

Pros

Stable, challenging work. Advancement opportunities, but more likely if willing to relocate. Good benefits. Well structured environment for running a business. Training and development

Cons

Bonus potential is poor compared to other industries, and is therefore not really an incentive at the engineering level. Lookup Minnesota Nice on Wikipedia. If you don’t mesh well in that environment then can be difficult to adapt. This is a very “woke” company.
