Business outlook
Pros
QC's at the top of their game. Executive management understands the need to invest in the future, and certainly puts its R&D dollars where its mouth is.
Cons
Executive management's philosophy is much the same as the rest of the industry: Favor large teams of cheap (mediocre) engineers rather than paying more for top talent. An exec quipped about a conversation he had with a customer: "You may have 500 really smart engineers, and we may have 5000 really dumb engineers, but we still have 5000 engineers." The pursuit for top talent is dead at QC and the rest of the industry, in favor of cheap talent.
