Pros

1. Co-workers are competent. 2. A hard-charging culture and can-do attitude 3. A good track record in gaining market share from behind

Cons

1. Ad hoc management style. Most managers are technical persons with limited managerial training, and continue to micro-manage technical decision-making. Employees have limited sense of project or task ownership 2. Limited information flow between managers and employees 3. Company culture lacks enough appreciation for work/life balance. 4. Limited opportunity for continued development, especially for senior engineers. There is a company-wide seminar series, but conference attendance is generally discouraged.
