Benefits are great, but IT and other policies are ridiculous!

Engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits. Candidates start out with 2 weeks of vacation for the first 5 years and have the capability of accruing up to 40 hours of comp-time (overtime worked) which can be taken as additional vacation at a later time along with 2 personal days a year. The atmosphere is very relaxed most of the time and management is flexible with working hours for most departments. You have great opportunities to move up in chain and go from being a technician to management fairly quickly.

Cons

IT policies and security settings can make your job very difficult as a lot of things are blocked, prohibited, or very slow to get to. The companies goal with this is to protect intellectual property as well as ITAR/EAR restricted leaks.

Loved the Company but I.T. Management leaves a lot to be desired

Systems administrator

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The company is highly technical and their Simulators are second to none. The staff out of New York are some of the best people I have ever worked with.

Cons

The employees at are extremely smart, but management appears to always be lacking in the I.T. department. There is no longevity in their I.T. department and as of this date no one has been there longer than approximately 4 years.

Low Pay, Poor Management

Engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Its a job if you really need one and can't find anywhere else to work, but I wouldn't recommend any engineer to go there.

Cons

Low pay compared to equivalent jobs at other companies. Managers have little management knowledge, many are promoted from within and don't have the knowledge or skill to manage the programs. They are shoot from the hip types and then blame the lower employees for the problems that result. They basically don't know what they are doing.
