Pros

Merger with Colt gives the company necessary scale to do things in a big way and compete better in Asia. It also gives them access to capital to better execute on their business plan. The company generally pays well rather to other companies in the market.

Cons

Organisation is in total flux as Colt Asia (KVH) integrates with Colt Europe. Morale is bottoming out, good staff are leaving, and there is no direction from the top on what's happening or where things are headed. It's a tough environment to work in; hopefully all of the good people and veterans don't leave in the process.

Pros

* If you are an existing "special" friend of the CEO, you will be looked after * If you are a telco genius, you might be safe (but keep your resume updated) * If you want to exist in the Twilight Zone, you will fit in well.. * Management not related to the CEO are generally OK, they just haven't got a clue what they are doing, nor can they stand up for the staff under them due to the dictatorship.

Cons

* After wrapping your mind into believing you are in a Telco twilight zone of years long past, you might be able to stay in your job - but you must be quiet and hide when anyone approaches your vacant floor. You may become schizophrenic. * You may need psychological treatment after a while or lots of drinking at Pronto with the "club of the disenfranchised".

Pros

- Many people are interested in seeing the company grow and succeed and are wiling to dedicate their time and energy to see this happen. - Potential for company growth is high if you're willing to stay with the company and invest your time - Moving around internally to other teams is pretty common and encouraged

Cons

- Negotiate your salary well because if you're not senior management, you will be stuck at your entry salary unless (or until) you become senior management - For an international corporation, it is mainly Japanese, and run in a Japanese style that is not very flexible - HR is useless - don't depend on them to help with anything unless you're coming in at a senior level
