Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting projects, products, and a lot of nice people at the working level.

Cons

Employees are treated as commodities. I was laid off 2 weeks ago. After being told on a Monday morning I had 2 hours to clean out my office and turn in my badge. I had a lot of work on my project and was being asked to work overtime. The program manager could not believe I was being laid off. There was no plan for anyone to pick up and cover my work. It was a complete screw up. My section manager was calling me the week after my layoff asking me how to find the data files I was working on.

Easy to move around within the company. Many opportunitites to switch departments and functions. Senior engineers are very knowledgable and make great mentors.

Cons

Compition is very high. There is a large age gap between senior engineers and lower level engineers. Hard to move up without someone retiring.
