      Extremely Oppresive and Unprofessional Environment

      Technical specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are no cons to working at this facility or company, in the manufacturing sector.

      Cons

      This company does not value technicians at all. They are treated and compensated (pay wise) not much different than assemblers. Yet, they are expected to be able to troubleshoot and repair products, to the component level. When can be incredibly complicated, tedious and mentally taxing at times. With no engineering support to even speak of. Technicians at this plant literally fend for themselves. I would highly advise to that you not bother applying here. It is a sweatshop, to say the least.

      Worst RF/Antnena Team

      Senior engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      * This company's certain Technical Team is good in your old age when you want a relax job.

      Cons

      * Lot of dirty politics inside RF and Phased Array Antenna Team * If you are hired for RF Engineer you will be put as a repetitive measurement guy for a long time which can be done with a simple GED pass guy. * I heard Phased Array Antenna Team is also worse. Do not join that group if you are planning to join as an Antenna engineer. The guy now is senior he does not want to share knowledge or share most of the emails to the Team members . He just makes his boss (He is not an Antenna person) very happy. Boss does not know whats going on inside. You will end up with a labor in this group if he leads. Ultimately, you will waste your time in this group. * Many dirty politics inside. * Not many benefits. * Worst medical plan.
