Pros

EMS is new and has a lot of potential however they will not retain good talent if they continue to do business as they do.

Cons

processes are broken, no training, inefficient, manual work that could be automated but people refuse to change, no promotion path or advancement structure, low end of compensation range, rigid structure, don't act like they care about their employees

Pros

Good working environment Exciting projects Great coworkers (for the most part, like any place)

Cons

Like any maturing company, it has become more and more top-heavy, placing more and more emphasis on project management and milestones, sometimes over bread-and-butter engineering. I could have half the PMs I have now and do a better job
