Pros

Great products, great people, nice location, and comfortable work atmosphere (as long as sales are good).

Cons

1) Poor business development and new-product definition processes; they have don't know how to collect information to predict opportunities and define new products. They have survived for a long time by going after low-hanging (low risk) fruit and are not motivated to change. 2) Corporate management has taken control of the business and they don't understand it (products vs. contract engineering). They have tied the hands of local management and are running it into the ground. Local management spends too much time servicing their managers rather than running things.

Pros

positive changes, positive outlook. New Management gives us a gleam of hope.

Cons

Lack of communication, Old and New Management forget to include all employees. New Management only takes advice from managers and forgets us, the production folks. One to many lies has us doubtful.

Pros

Great people to work with. Management makes a concerted effort to tell you how things are going so you know where you stand. If asked, I would return to work there in a heartbeat.

Cons

80% of business is tied to Government. Since the government can't figure out what they want to do, they keep moving work out into the next year. As a business, you can't sustain so you must lay people off. Several RIFs in last 2 years. Finally caught up to me. Not their fault.
