Pros

- Talented Engineers - Some cool projects being worked on

Cons

By far the worst place I've worked at throughout my 5 year career. Every post that you'll see on Glassdoor about management being toxic and incapable is absolutely true. Engineers are as talented and as capable as I've seen at FAANG companies I've worked at in the past, but managers were clearly promoted/hired without the scalability of the company in mind. Managers are skilled at engineering tasks, but are clueless when it comes to managing people. I've seen too many onboarding engineers left without proper support and insight into how to do their jobs well and it's actually pathetic. How do you expect new engineers to meet tight deadlines if they're not given the proper tools and support to do so? This company has the potential to be something great, but not the way it's being ran currently. However, even outside of management, most what's being built out is glorified demoware that the government is buying into because their software hasn't been updated since the 1990's and anything new is considered to be a massive upgrade. Please stay away if you have any self-respect.

Pros

Competitive pay and benefits. Extremely talented workforce. Exposure to advanced manufacturing technologies. Fast-paced environment with meaningful work. Opportunities to learn like you wouldn't believe.

Cons

Heavy reliance on tribal knowledge in some areas. Documentation and standardized work instructions can be limited. Some processes depend on experienced employees rather than formal SOPs and travelers. Learning curve can be steep for new hires.

Pros

Great pay for the most part, and the engineers are awesome.

Cons

When something is too good to be true, it’s too good to be true for a reason. I would not accept this job on contract unless you are unemployed, don’t consider it if you are employed. The company is growing and having leadership level changes in the TA realm and boy you can tell. Your job is NOT safe on contract and is not a guarantee to go even 6 months. Everyone is extremely lax and chill on the interviews and the pay is great isn’t it?? Well that’s alll a facade, no matter if you’re doing well or not.
