Pros

Pay is decent. Reasonable benefits

Cons

Uncaring unsupportive management. All information is tribal with many single point failures. No support provided to engineering teams just demands and absurd schedules. Very political with no substantice leadership. Comany constantly losing money. No clear process or quality improvements. No Configuration management at all. No training or professional growth. Engineering is utter chaos.

Pros

*This only applies to the Montgomeryville location* None. Used to be a great place to work. I enjoyed the work I did and the various teams I worked with.

Cons

*This only applies to the Montgomeryville location* -Health benefits have gotten worse each year. -Constant layoffs. -Changed from an 8 hour 3 shift day, 5 days a week to a 10 hour 2 shift day, 4 days out of the week. The idea was to save money on overtime, then they started asking the employees to stay the 4 hours between shifts. Then they started asking the employees to work the extra 3 days. Then they made the employees sign a waiver, making the 3 days mandatory when needed. -Flat raises, everyone gets the same raise. -Lower management no longer cares -Upper management is too focused on vanity projects or no longer cares
