Business Outlook

Pros

This company is run by engineers top to bottom so it makes huge investments in R&D and it treats the engineering staff very well. All of the focus is on making good products.

Cons

We tend to short-change things like marketing, packaging, and sometimes interface design. The company could be even more successful if it took marketing more seriously, especially on the Aviation side.
