Low Morale High Turnover

Business Outlook

Pros

I respect and enjoy working with my peers. Some very interesting programs. There are some really fantastic people there but they are not corporate.

Cons

Serious lack of employee engagement due to seeming lack of management concern. Excessive workload, lack of responsiveness to input, and communication. Transitioned systems too fast without doing adequate research. Passing the buck on any question that cannot be easily answered. Departmental trainings not adequately put together or sourced. Open door is not open. Company pretends they are more agile than Harris but still have very tedious processes and responses to questions are slow.

Pros

Flexible working hours. friendly and helpful peer engineers. Good customer relationship. Average benefits.

Cons

The company has gone through several buy out and name change. Systems Engineering Department has gone through a management change. The young and inexperienced managers have lack people skills and technical expertise to to run the department. They are using intimidation tactic to get the job done. The individual creativity is not encouraged. Management stuck in policy and regulations and loosing edge to have on technical expertise. if you are looking for technical advances, this is not a place for you.
