Pros

Challenging work, good domain (Avionics), lots to learn, new technologies can be introduced and experimented upon

Cons

Needs immense revamp of infrastructure like IT, HR, facilities, Software Tools group, etc... The Management needs to think if they give quality of hardware and time in office, the employees will give you back quality product. Uses VDI for development (whose actual use is for call centres, where u just need to open a browser), which hampers the productivity. For every use there are multiple software tools being used, which hampers the compatibility & dependency.

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
