Complete Chaos

Test engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

The benefits are typical for the industry

Cons

Absolutely no work/life balance for engineers at the Tulsa facility. I was told that I was expected to work a *minimum* of 55-60 hours per work. We were unable to complete tasks due to micromanagement, which was reactive, instead of proactive. I was often shifted from one task to another hourly. This reactionary management style and lack of planning led to a trail of unfinished tasks.

Pros

The employees are the only thing good about the company

Cons

The company continually lies to you and changes their minds as they see fitting to them. They DO NOT have competitive wages. They lie about that also. They constantly mess up your checks and try to avoid it by telling you they over paid you but they won't make you pay it back. Which is illegal for them to do anyways. They tell you overtime is available not mandatory. Plan on 10 hour days 5 days a week. You have no life outside of work.

Pros

Nice new corporate building with a lot of empty space, view, fancy office and the largest TV for conference that you can find

Cons

Pursue short term profit is the only thing interest senior leaders. Moved corporate to Santa Ana to satisfy few executives’ commute but created a lot of waste can be used to improve our employee’ pay
