Pros

A laid back work environment with really great people.

Cons

Design cycles are very long (5-8 years) so it is not the most cutting-edge or exciting work.

Status quo no longer acceptable.

Business Outlook

Pros

After decades of running the business the same way senior management is discussing direction, purpose and focus on what will take the company to success in the next decade. Glad to see them having the difficult discussions that come with running a business. A lot of fresh talent has come into the company bringing renewed energy, outside perspectives and ideas.

Cons

A lot of tenured employees trying to ride out to retirement without wanting to put any energy into the future. Too much "just tell me what to do" mentality among staff.
