      Toxic environment

      Test engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent pay Free health insurance

      Cons

      Expects ridiculous amount of overtime from employees but was over 6 months late with bonuses. Virtually no communication with employees, leadership is secretive and cut throat. They do not respect anyone unless they are a chief engineer or above, opinions are not heard or respected. They have an ineffective promotion systems and favortism is apparent.

      Some good people and fun projects, horrible management and culture

      Systems engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Some teams, where the manager or lead succesfully shields them from terrible upper management and culture, are great - Interesting programs/product - Good pay - If you're lucky there are some good opportunities to jump your career forward - Desperation from the US government to raise non-oldschool players probably means the company will be perfectly fine and keep winning contracts, so not at risk of failing.

      Cons

      - Management is the worst I've ever seen - I've heard managers be openly racist/misogynistic - Lying externally (to customers) and internally (to engineers, and staff) is normalized - Terrible culture in general outside of specific areas - Unless drastic changes were made, do not expect work/life balance. At one point some of the groups were made to do night shift Panamas (12 hour shifts rotating weekends). I don't think they've done that since, but be aware of the culture.

      Insecurity, duct tape, and shoestrings.

      Engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Engineers are great to work with. Health benefits.

      Cons

      Some insights working at the Denver office: CEO does not allow people to enter the front door of the building besides him and customers. He has his own elevator to his office and his own restroom which leaves the working people to fight over one restroom. That's weird. Mentally unstable and or insecure much? CEO is getting rid of remote workers while the people that kiss the ring get to work from home. He has stated that he just wants to sell the company and that people are replaceable. Projects and capabilities are put together with duct tape and shoestrings and not legit. No career progression. You are working with the SDA for God sakes, show some love for America.
