From okay to bad

Pros

Some freedom to move between projects. Good coworkers, friendly atmosphere.

Cons

It used to be great. Since being bought by Elbit there has been one bad decision after another. Upper management makes huge decisions without consulting the lower levels and leaves the lower management to pick up the remaining pieces. Whole departments fired, then a mad scramble to try to get back the key personnel to keep projects running. Twice in four years! Upper management seem to surround themselves with yesmen and have no idea about the culture in each different division. So many people left after a disastrous move (where they completely ignored the feedback and then failed to implement more than the most basic parts of the new office plan) that everything ground to a near halt. A division of 120 employees is now down to 15 remote workers.

Pros

Great people to work with. Everyone shares knowledge. Pay and benefits are pretty good. Strong future if you are a systems or software engineer. 3% merit raise given every year. Great work / life balance.

Cons

Projects move at a geological pace. New company direction shows less emphasis on hardware development. Miles of regulation imposed policies and procedures and red tape. Little or no new product development.

Pros

Good work/life balance. You get an office.

Cons

Extremely boring and disorganized. Spent many days and even weeks with absolutely nothing to do. Cliquish people and poor communication from management. Very opaque about company finances. You have no idea if the company is on the point of failure or is doing great. Pay is low.
