Was a great company.....

Engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

Great compensation in comparison to the region of Pittsburgh.

Cons

No matter the amount of work that you put in or what you accomplish. You will not be appreciated. Snap judgements are made and people scramble to place the blame. Schedules are unrealistic. Knowledge is lacking. Methods are questionable. Highly unprofessional upper / middle management especially when it comes to scheduling. New CEO essentially brought on board to get the company back to higher volumes of profitability for share holders (Toshiba).

Business Outlook

Pros

Average pay is higher than many employers in the area, but inline within the nuclear industry. Beautiful new buildings with cafeteria and exercise center.

Cons

Danny brought the GE rank and yank mentality with him. All managers are going through an exercise to rank and rate their direct reports. Internal HR is gearing up for meetings with people who are going to get cut.

chaotic firm - poor management

Strategy analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good position in industry, good products, good pay for young engineers, a few good older engineers willing to mentor if you can find them. Decent for young accountants, too. Decent compensation and benefits. Low workload. (Pro from a personal perspective - not good for the firm.) Decent facilities at main HQ. Decent location if you want to live in the 'burbs.

Cons

Lots of nepotism and cronyism - leaders are promoted based on tenure and personal politics and not on business acumen, mission focus, or leadership ability. Too many average engineers promoted into non-engineering and/or management roles. Far too rare to see executives fired or demoted for below-average performance. This HR strategy and culture means too many incompetent people wind up with power inside the firm and drives away too many promising leaders.
