Relaxed environment in turn creates complacency. Interesting projects are given to the ivy league MBA's. Merit is not performance based. Compensation package is decades behind, and not competitive with the local area. Employee surveys in the past have indicated poor compensation, and nothing has been done. Basically ignored. Not unusual for employees to leave and see up to 50% salary increases. 30%-40% is common. Executives get preferred stock options, profit sharing, bonuses, and personal vehicle compensation. If you are not an engineer I would second guess employment here. It's not what you know, but who you know environment.
