Pros

This place offers great padding for your resume out of college, but don't stay long. They'll start you at 20% below the mean salary for an engineer, and then give you 5% raises every year...if you're lucky you'll land a 10% raise, but if you do the math...that'll keep you below the mean forever. There are some fun projects to work on, and you'll get some good design experience, so get in, build your resume, and get out. They'll hire anyone...so you can definitely get in.

Cons

Low pay, poor management, late deliveries, crappy reputation in the industry, low morale, no communication between upper management and engineers...poor contract negotiation...etc...yada yada yada...this place is not a good company. Period.

Pros

Following acquisition, the parent company is competent and aligned with industry standards. Very diverse team. The products are interesting. Good pay.

Cons

- Culture is resistant to change, with some people feeling threatened by new ideas or different wants of doing things, even if it's to align with industry standards and best practices - unprofessional and degrading behavior is tolerated, especially towards minorities - Lack of infrastructure and reactive engineering environment. The engineering is under scoped, amateur, and the schedules are too condensed given the complexity it would take to execute the programs correctly. - Many of the growing pains listed in reviews over a decade ago are still prevalent in the organization. Despite growth, those pains have not been overcome or resolved.
