Universal Avionics reviews

Future is hard to predict here from one year to the next. Company is owned by a wealthy European and is their personal passion but getting close to retirement. What happens next ? If sales are low one year, might have layoffs. Never clear who is leading and who is following ? Information only flows down and rarely laterally. Things move very slow and in an almost chaotic manner. Each Dept has a lot of independence so working together is negotiable. Redmond Facility has more products and seems more cohesive. Very dependent on legacy people who are always right.

Absence of brain trust. The old man had one good product developed and the company has lived off it ever since without really ever developing anything new that was equally groundbreaking. Engineers hold the place hostage with taking in high salaries but taking 6 to 8 years to develop products that in the end just don't cut it. Work life balance is terrific, as there is a mass exodous from the building at 5pm every day, including executives. There is no striving for excellence here, just average people doing an almost adequate job.
