Cons
- disparity in pay: huge variation in payscales between engineers of the same experience. Driven mostly by the proximity of an individual to the engineering director - indecisiveness amongst engineering managers: they fail to provide technical support and guidance at crucial points of the project due to a lack of experience in handling high pressure projects. - engineering leadership is a one man show. One man, directs engineering, has the final say in hiring and salary increments. - petty politics is peddled by the top management especially when a candidate resigns. - extremely poor handling of crises - veteran employees opine that the company has lost its former glory and is just a shadow of the entity that it used to be.
