Business outlook
Pros
The company offered a great opportunity to learn a wide variety of business skills, including sales, marketing, some database stuff, and offered exposure to a wide variety of types of people in their clients.
Cons
The manager had serious micromanagement issues, including demanding minute-by-minute accounting on timesheets even for salaried (exempt) employees, up to the point of noting when bathroom breaks were taken. Also, engineers were expected to spend most of their time on business development tasks including cold calls. There was absolutely no room for career advancement, since the company had remained at its current size for multiple decades and showed no signs of growing, and compensation was below average.
