Pros

-Incredible ownership of work material -Interesting projects -Deep breadth (can be a bad thing)

Cons

Upper management is clear time and time again that they do not care about their bottom line. They are leading the business to failure, literally. Although the owner is able to afford mansions in San Diego from war profiteering, there is no money for bonuses or raises for those lucky to not get laid off. Don’t expect flexibility in your work hours, either. They are adamant against working from home or a flexible work schedule. If you try to bring these points up to senior management, you will get shut down as the best response they can come up with. The President of EMS is known to be a terrible person, who gets his way through intimidation like a teenage bully. I was unsurprised to learn that he called a bottom line engineer to proceeded to verbally abuse him for 15 minutes due to a failure of a supplier. I would run, not walk, away from the company.
