CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great work environment, great benefit, very competitive pay scale, great coworkers

Cons

Very conservative business approach, lots of technically incompetent people are at the sr. management level, company has lots of dead wood. If you are super star (technically and non-technically), very difficult to move up quickly, very slow in adapting new idea
