      Horrible place to work as a young engineer

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I guess people are overall friendly

      Cons

      Lack of feedback and mentorship. Projects can be very client driven and change or are abandoned midway very frequently, leading to zero sense of ownership and success. There is no organized team or group structure, which destroys fluidity. Average age at my branch was 50+ and I was their last hire (2018).

      Amazing Company, Culture, and Impact

      Operations/logistics leadership

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Engaged, motivated, intelligent team members. The culture is self-empowered, creative, energetic, and independent. Real sense of "making an impact" on customers and markets. I continually feel like my work matters and makes a global impact. Lots of opportunity for growth and diversity of responsibilities.

      Cons

      Our flat organizational structure may be difficult for those used to hierarchical environments with clearly defined roles and structure.

      Pros

      An average paycheck and not much else.

      Cons

      Discrimination to minorities is rampant. If you are not part of the old buddies network you are doomed and set to fail. The management allows bullying of minorities with no consequence to the senior managers that do it. This is done in violation of all federal laws and in a company that swindles the US government in their contracts. The Operations and Manufacturing organization has some really rough managers as well as some of the General Managers of the programs. Watch for the sports clans of old surfers and bicyclists as they support each other and push out minorities. It is a racist company as mentioned in other reviews.
