Business Outlook

Pros

The people - many good engineers.

Cons

Layoffs have become part of the culture now and are expected. The most proactive people take charge of their own careers and find something somewhere else before what seems like the inevitable happens. Overburdened with procedural details with an unwillingness to do anything differently than was done in the past.
