Cons
1. Lacking professionally trained and educated management and C-suite employees across the supply chain umbrella, which at times results in poor decision-making and deflection of responsibilities 2. Rapid policy changes 3. Overabundance of meetings, which can cause hours lost to matters that could have been handled via email 4. Expectations that you will cover your work on vacation or international travels, regardless of time zone 5. Difficult program team members who tend to offload support tasks, which should be allocated to assistant-type roles or engineering staff 6. Salaried role = managers will expect you to work long days if the activities that day require such input. A 15-hour day or 60-80-hour work week is expected during full-rate production or prototype phases, to meet workload.
