There aren't a lot of pros here in this company. They need to update everything is this company and that includes attitude and outlook for the future of this corporation. There are a handful that are optimistic and look for this change but change doesn't happen when there isn't any teamwork. There is a lot of drama and excessive micro-managing that take up a lot of work time. Firm says it supports work-life balance and flex schedule but they don't. They get you in there but then they get you working longer hours and they don't even support working remotely. The two presidents need to take a walk around the office a little more and interact with their people and they will see in their employees faces and demeanor that all is not well in their work place. Maybe they already know that, and that's why they don't really care to take the time to talk to everyone.

Very low salaries, especially for the hard work you put in. Amount of responsibilities/work do not equate to the right amount of compensation. There are a lot of office politics involved. You have to "know" your management in order to get special treatment. Felt like those who were "in the crowd" had more perks than others and were more likely to be recognized. There are times when there is no work at all and times where you are expected to get a deadline out no matter the cost (50 hrs/week). Management seems to only care about themselves. Even after about 5 senior engineers retired/left, I have no clue how the company doesn't have enough money to give us better salaries. That's like half a million dollars in salaries that could have been split up to raise our compensation. Sometimes you are ignored for a certain opportunity, just because you don't have experience in one area.
