Pros

Exposure to cutting edge technology and the opportunity to work with leading professionals. When supported, the abilities of the company as a whole in the defense and commercial industry can be a fast paced, exciting and very challenging environment to work in.

Cons

The company has lost direction since the demise of it's owner and founder, Walter J. Zable. The management has not recently been supportive of the R&D design teams it has tried so hard to organize. The current bottom line economics has either eliminated or lost the brain trust of 50 years of leading the market.

Pros

My manager was awesome. Job was diverse and creativity was welcomed. Salary was pretty good, even if I was technically doing two types of positions. Co-workers were also good, some great, actually. Work life balance was also pretty good. All credit to that goes to my manager and the managers I've had before my last one.

Cons

In the end, my loyalty seemed to not be valued. My hard work showed and I met deadlines before the due date. Only called in sick when actually sick, and hardly took time off. The thing that bothered me the most was the way they laid me off. Group Teams video meeting, but the person giving us the news was not on video. Just a black screen, telling you that was your last day and that after that meeting your access will be cut off. And it was. I almost felt like an email would've been better than that black screen. That is really the only time I felt bad about the way things went. I know corporate life brings in the usual fiscal year layoffs, but it just felt wrong the way it was done, in my opinion.
