Business Outlook

Pros

Very innovative culture that encourages new ideas and approaches to improve anything. Be it products or processes. Engineering judgment and decision almost always triumphs business or other competing interests.

Cons

Implementing anything is procedure-laden. It is not difficult to loose sight of the latest and greatest skills in the technical world. So continuous education and updating oneself is the key to perform well here.
