Pros
Technically able to work remotely (although this Pro was granted subjectively to "certain people" and not across the board). A few good people to work with...at least the ones that weren't engineers.
Kontras
Upper Mgmt. was awful. Didn't care at all about keeping people engaged and happy. It's a 24x7 job and can be very thankless. Mgmt. needs to do a better job to mitigate that. Many of the engineers have huge ego's and run around on power trips. Poor communication. But again, if you're an engineer (a good one), you don't have to communicate as it is often overlooked because they are delicate geniuses. What they don't realize, as smart as they are, is that communication is KEY to the success if any business.
