Business Outlook

Pros

A high-tech company with great engineering positions. Interesting and always changing field. The company has a matrix organisation and lateral moves are possible.

Cons

Many management layers and work can get very bureaucratic. Internal processes are cumbersome and engineers do not have engineering services to help them with internal doc control.
