Pros

Pays reasonably well for the area. Challenging and interesting product line. Lot of great vendors to work with and the majority of rank and file are good to work with.

Cons

Management did not grow when the company was bought by Curtiss Wright Flow Control so the small business (mom and pop dictatorship) remained.

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.
