Pros

Outside of the I.T. group people were great to work with: easy going, helpful, flexible, always willing to help out when needed. Exciting company to work for if you are into the latest and greatest technology or love cars in general. CEO is a great visionary and impressive leader.

Cons

Environment is based on REACTIVE mode rather than PROACTIVE mode due to Start Up Company mentality. Unrealistic deadlines for IT projects. No direction for projects. IT Supervisors/Managers biased, hold projects back based on favoritism among their employees. If you are not part of the 'In' crowd no chance of promotions. Worst of all, incompetent people being promoted.

Pros

Great environment with talented engineers that are pushing the technology forward. Will never settle for second best

Cons

Need to be a top performer or you will not move in the organization. Often engineers need to adapt to being able to release without all the knowns
