Interesting design work in a quirky environment - Mechanical Engineer DEKA Research and Development Employee Review

You will get to work with brilliant engineers across all disciplines. DEKA will expect you to put in the effort, but will also give you the opportunity to learn, grow, develop industry skills, and use them to improve the quality of life of thousands of people. As a 20 year veteran, you will rest well every night, knowing your work is going to help humanity.

Nothing in particular. Sometimes remote access is a bit flaky.

There is a culture of sharing and helping. Flat structure means everyone has a say. Plenty of projects and opportunities. Project dependent, but for the most part a fairly laid back culture.

Expect about 40% less than market average. They have difficulty keeping the people that are worth it. Year 0 and year 30 at the company have the same benefits, PTO, and bonus. No maternal/paternal benefits. General disbelief that any product will ever hit market or achieve internal milestones.
