Bad Management

Pros

Good Benefits and the location was good. The salary was marginal but within the lower median. Interaction between departments was pretty good.

Cons

Prejudice and bigotry still exist within the ranks. Be careful if you’re a female in engineering, especially if you’re of color. Your forced rating marks will be low. The engineering department can't deliver anything on time or working well. Replace management and you'll stop loosing customers like Quest. i.e. Quest removed BD all together. That should say something too..
