Pros

Great, personable friendly people to work with and they have a lot of things in place in tended to make it a great work experience.

Cons

Very low moral right now and managements attitude is "well at least you still have a job." There is a lack of clear communication for major things occuring in the company and rumors from others outside the company is usually better information then what we get. A salary freeze since September 2008. where is the incentive for being a hard worker?

Too many pen pushers on all levels undermining technical side of business in an engineering company. Management not interested to utilise stuff to maximum potential and HR incompetent and subservient. .
