Pros

The middle and lower management, engineers, and factory workers, are extremely qualified and dedicated employees, which makes for a good working environment and a great product and after sale support. This dedication has kept the company together, despite the poor management at the top.

Cons

The top level management, except for the CFO, are unrealistic, expect 24/7 work and accessibility to employees on vacations and holidays as well, basically lacking people management skills and sensitivity to personal lives. This is not the place to work for professional career development, unless the top management were to leave and someone with real management skills were to come in to run the company. The list is endless of good people that have come and gone.

Pros

I worked in their security consultancy division, part of the Communications business. It was a decent place to cut my teeth, but wasn't without weakness. On the good side: * Wage scales are acceptable * Expenses rates are decent and daily out-of-pockets were unusually high * Car allowance was good * Scheduling was pretty good and was max. 70% utilisation

Cons

* Completely directionless, and the business owner was clueless about what we were actually there to do or how to grow * Management was completely detached from reality, and based everything in end of year numbers - nothing else

Pros

Senior engineers with very high knowledge. Unfortunately most of them doesn't hold management positions.

Cons

The management is chosen not for competence/capacity. Total lack of growth paths, no human resource management.
