      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The people, excellent team work and front line (those at the coal face), support, communicate and help each other.

      Cons

      Complete lack of support, communication and respect from Senior Management. Decisions made in a vacuum, without understanding the implications and expecting the ever decreasing staff to resolve. Outsourcing on one hand but expecting "on-site & engaged", which is very difficult when waiting on someone to answer the outsourced Service Desk.

      Maintenance mode, low innovation, big management

      Senior member of consulting staff
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The electronic design automation domain is complex, hence there are deep algorithmic challenges in most tasks.

      Cons

      High-level management does not seem to be clueful, engineers not given enough respect, lower pay than competitors, unfairness in promotions, company seems to be doing worse than competitors, excessive politics, mid-level management discourages most things except maintenance-mode bug-fixing stuff, poor parity between different products in promotions and pay. All imho.
