Pros

Friendly place to work with some fantastic co-workers; dedication to the warfighter and veterans; involvement in community and generous donations to charities;

Cons

No vision for the future. Since the announcement of the new company, management has taken a step back on what was (for about 1.5 years) a good vision on how C4S/MS was going to play in the 21st century. Mission Systems realignment has killed any idea of moving forward. Company is stuck in the mud. Talent is walking away due to lack of support from management. They are closing offices just 3 years after dropping close to 1 million to build out.

Losing good engineers.

Pros

The engineers that are there are good, work hard and put out good products.

Cons

In transition from a large contract and not managing it well. Management stripped good engineers away, froze or downgraded benefits and is now dealing with a large exodus of good experienced engineers. Management focus on short term bonuses and profits with no thought for the future.

Thank you for your review. You're right that the past several years have been hard for everyone, particularly the defense industry. Though times have been tough, we are looking forward to a positive outlook this year and in the years ahead. We continue to expand our SATCOM offerings, and are excited to enter the public safety sector sharing our expertise in military communications with first responders around the country. Keep an eye out for more positive changes and growth as we continue ahead. In the meantime, thank you again for your comments, we appreciate your honest feedback.

Pros

Great place to ride the bus to retirement.

Cons

Treat salary employees like hourly right up to the point where hourly employees get paid overtime. Terrible culture. Treat employees poorly. Constantly taking benefits away from employees. Little to no growth potential.
