Pros
MAK is like one big family. The people are awesome and many employees have been there over 10 years, some over 15 and a few over 20! They are the best middleware and COTS vendor in the defense simulation space. Really smart VPs in engineering, marketing and sales. The defense sector has it's ups and downs but MAK has carved out a pretty good niche for itself. Promotions are usually given to the people who do the job they want first, and are then recognized for it with a promotion later. I view this as a positive because it rewards people with drive and ambition.
Cons
There isn't a whole lot of growth in the defense sector (these days). And because they haven't diversified outside of defense and also because the defense sector isn't growing there is very little revenue growth these days.
