Pros – Dr. Lynn is the diamond in the goats bottom here and may be the sole competent member of management at this place. Why on earth he stays, I'll never know.

Cons – The staff is treated second class to the management.

The company expects employees to be in the office 50 to 60 hours a week.

The design quality, controls, and processes are awful, and unfortunately the culture of incompetence has a firm grip. The grip is strongest among the idiot friends, in-laws, and family members on the executives that have been hired into this place.

Advice to Senior Management – 1) Establish and enforce a company wide, an anti-nepotism policy that extends to contractors and suppliers
2) Train your management to manage and don't substitute a time clock for proper team leadership. An employee working for 40 hours is a magnitude better for the company that an employee that is just present for 60 hours.
3) Establish and enforce a strict anti-fraternizing policy, esp among executives.

Pros – Work load not as heavy as compare to other similar nature company. Working hour are very flexible. Most of the senior management are overseas.
