      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Interesting work -nice size private cubicles -9/80 work schedule, 3 day weekends every other week!!! -Confidence in job security -Great place to grow as an engineer right out-of-college -Lots of smart people

      Cons

      -Pay is somewhat OK but tends to plateau with inflation based raises even with excellent annual performance reviews -Talented people realize salary will jump by leaving company, saturating labor pool with lower performers. -communication between functional groups needs to be standardized and improved -Too much politics, creating headaches trying to complete the simplest of tasks = waste
