Pros

None to really mention about Hudson NH one

Cons

This company is so out of date with rest of the world. The one in Hudson, NH is pathetic. I wish I had given my feedback to the HR when I left. I always regretted not expressing my concerns and how I felt about the place to the HR and program manager when I left. Looking back after many years now , with more experience in life - I feel so glad I left the company. I’m in a better place now where people value, respect and recognize my work. Hudson NH office is full of white people (99%)and majority don’t smile ( at least they never smiled at me and my other coworker who felt the same way and left ) . They absolutely have no knowledge of people of color, their culture and background. I felt like a fish out of water working in this place. These people have no idea how people of color feel - they just don’t care. I was once sitting in the lab and my team lead walks in who wasn’t feeling great that day - as soon as I saw I smiled and asked how she/he is doing. Crickets. No response. The same person smirked at me in the meeting when I said I got a plant that is considered as good luck. Imagine working in a place people look at you like you’re an alien. Send bolded large text in the email for asking something that may have been a repetitive question for the sender but it was a genuine clarification from my end. Imagine going through all this in this time and age. I feel so infuriated for the way I felt working for this company - people made me feel horrible and incompetent. Even after all these years I can not forget the experience, that’s why I figured I leave a review in Glassdoor and let others know about this company before accepting any offer especially the one at Hudson. I really hope the higher ups bring some diversity and inclusion.

Pros

Best job I've ever had during covid, team was understanding, worked together amazingly, overcame hurdles while not stagnating. The project I was working on blossomed and was delivered to customer satisfaction

Cons

you have to live near KSC, which means there's not a lot of things to do outside of work assuming you don't want to commute an hour. They are also slowly moving towards full on site work when I started out as fully remote (and did my job perfectly as such)
