Great Company to work AT... but not FOR

Technician

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Having an impact on some truly amazing hardware and being able to use it. Higher up people are treated well and the lower employees are somewhat included.

Cons

Poor communication, extremely low expectations of workers, no chance of growth, not praised or rewarded for exceptional work, problems tend to be ignored or not solved effectively. People seem to be hired based more on their resume rather than personality and practical skills.
