      Overworked, poor management

      Manufacturing engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Is cool to see and work on rocket hardware

      Cons

      Do more with less attitude is not sustainable. Don’t drink the “leadership values” coo-laid. Overworked, under valued… Poor leadership. No real direction. Poor culture. Starting with the very top (J.B), it’s all layers upon layers of directors and VP’s to middle management just trying to appease the guy above them and not lose their job. Ambitious goals but no real direction to get there. Stop with the bloated middle management and get rid of the useless VP’s.

      So much potential

      Manufacturing engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      * I am surrounded by the smartest people I ever have worked around. * The the individual contributor and level 1 managers generally are trying their best. * Tons of low hanging fruit, if you have drive and can politic well, you will shine quickly.

      Cons

      * Every battle is up-hill. Fighting for funding to purchase something, fighting for time to invest into a project, fighting for priority in bottleneck work centers, everything is a fight. * Whiplash is constant. Expect no consistent messaging from leadership. * Level 1 managers are generally pretty good, like 70/30 good to bad. Level 2 is like 40/60. Level 3 is 10/90, ect... Management is filled with yes men who will quicker lick a boot for a goal than stand up for reality. They are all just gaming metrics trying to get their incentive plan bonuses with no regard for the final output of the company.

      Pros

      Good pay and good employees

      Cons

      Completely incompetent Management in every aspect. Dave Limp destroyed what little culture was left. "Stock Options" were a lie to lure in the best talent with no intent to actually exercise them.
