Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent training and opportunities to learn skills with good technology including hardware and software, which helped advance my career so work hard and take advantage of the opportunities.

Cons

Too many managers and directors versus technical staff, but new CEO is a vast improvement over past ones. No pension anymore, but 401k company match is good.
