      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Easy introduction to team, thorough top level introduction to project architecture, direct access to entire code base. Management gives complete presentation of team goals. Code base is in relatively good condition. Quality of computer capability well above average.

      Cons

      No written records of design requirements or response available only study of base code is possible creating schedule delays. Former personnel may not be interviewed for their understanding. There is no written schedule and archaic technology is preserved at the cost to progress even if it damages the goals of the department.

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Benefits were competitive. -Single-customer priority made travel mostly a non-issue. -Mandatory overtime made an impressive W-2. -Friendly but transparent staff. -Experience laying people off led to generous severance package.

      Cons

      -Mandatory overtime. -Distinct lack of feedback at team leader and management levels. -Force reduction mandated more work for fewer people. -Minimal chance for upward mobility - usually translated to more work with a shift differential versus an actual promotion -Communication between field techs, tech support, management severely lacking. -Hard work thanked with more work, then force reductions.
