Pros

Interesting projects, people on the level below management are fantastic - always friendly and helpful

Cons

Disorganized. John Elder attempts to control too much of the direction without understanding anything about the day-to-day project work or his employees in general - doesn't trust his fellow directors / managers. If you aren't a Christian white man, you probably won't feel like you fit in or will ever be part of the "inner circle".
