CAE Systems Software Engineer reviews

Management hardly knows what is going on. Fainted results often more important than real progress. Really quick to lay off or fire people without any planning which causes kind of Brownian movement in the staff.

Periodic lay off since few years (say 2003) despite large federal aids. Some of the middle management composed by "green MBAs" is building there own ivory tower. Too much politics on top of technical work produces unecessary pressures, sometime it's close to harassment, on employees and makes working methodology not enough efficient. In some department, people are not well-respected by medium and top managment.
