Pros

- Benefits - Pay was decent - Some of the co-workers

Cons

– Management of all levels: - They are clueless to what is going on - They don't know what each job entails therefore, there is a constant battle of who should be doing what - When they can't figure out an issue they fire individuals who took on the issue but weren't fully trained - Assign the work of 3-4 people and expect everything done timely even if that means working 80 hour a week - Micromanaging - Don't know how to talk to or treat employees No work life balance, you have to create your own if you want it Every business unit operates as a silos Lack of onboard training Monthly close process takes weeks to complete because there is not clear way of performing tasks No employee appreciation therefore, employee morale is horrible! Too many politics No room for growth because even if promoted you're still doing your previous duties Not enough employees for the work High turnover Not a good work environment, profanity is constantly used, talking down to employees is a constant as well

Pros

Staff appreciate the job stability, good pay/benefits relative to the Aerospace & Defense industry, and highly professional engineering teams. Many report a strong sense of purpose and trust in their immediate colleagues.

Cons

On the downside, some reviewers cite a top-heavy, process-oriented management structure, occasional disjointed communication across departments, and strict, high-pressure deadlines.
