Business Outlook
Pros
Lots of smart people, good pay, nice place to live, mostly interesting work. Lots of leeway to make things happen if something isn't up to your standards. Overall just a very good place to work.
Cons
Non-engineering skills are undervalued by those running the company, and the employees suffer for it sometimes. In particular the top people are good engineers and scientists but mostly mediocre managers, but aren't the kind of people that are willing to relinquish control and focus on strengths. Also the company has evolved so that there is no common set of goals that leadership is likely to ever agree on.
