Focus only on profits with total disregard to employees

Director of sales

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Known company in the aerospace/avionics market. Good benefits.

Cons

All the attention is on profits and operating income. No respect for employees or their contributions. Frequent downsizing with remaining employees forced to take on more and more work. Too much bureaucracy and internal focus. Work environment and morale are trending down continuously.

Great Opportunities with Narrow Margin for Error

Engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great Opportunity to work on various point product designs. Lots of growth potential. Tuition reimbursement. Generous holiday time off. Get to wear multiple hats. Good Pay.

Cons

Narrow margin for error to be successful. Management blames engineering for project failures. No accountability with management bidding unrealistic schedules to customers. Timelines are unrealistic given the resources. Engineers never consulted with what is realistic. Schedule seems to always be put first, no matter the compromise to quality. Finger pointing when things don’t go perfectly. Every program is late, have not felt successful since I joined. Everyone seems out to get there own, no comradery or teamwork. Employee turnover is very high.
