Pros

Good location, decent benefits, some talented people

Cons

Management is completely detached from reality and the customer requirements. They do not support the project managers, they give us unrealistic deadlines and they cannot seem to hire anyone, but who wants to work here anyway anymore. We work insane hours for standard pay no hope of a bonus and no clear way forward. We work in a constant state of chaos. If I wanted to be a fireman, I would have done that for a living. I even work most weekends and do not get comp days.

Pros

The mix of back-office and mobile devices makes for an interesting engineering challenge. The customers are all public utilities i.e. transit agencies, some can be fast others slow to respond to questions or new approaches.

Cons

Lower management is totally cowed, they will be fired if they point out even obvious problems. So at the working stiff level, you cannot expect any support. Just keep your mouth shut and do the best you can in a totally understaffed workplace. Don't miss the antique dress code-no blue jeans allowed. Or the mandatory 48 hour work weeks during 4th quarter every year. It is like a 20% pay cut. For the benefit of the 2 owners. But is there any bonus plan to compensate? Not a chance.
