Pros

Great company if you have no skills whatsoever and want to do the bare minimum

Cons

What used to be a great company few years ago has been massacred by the previous leadership Previous CEO and CFO in Irvine have done everything to sink the ship while being promoted to other positions back in Europe. The issues are still the same and the company is barely surviving. The mafia responsible for the situation the company is in is still in place at all levels: CTO, Engineering, Program … and they’ve hired people from competition to run Sales who turn out to be complete frauds without any win. They’ve been firing people by the hundreds and the few remaining good soldiers are now leaving the ship given the situation. They are being completely outplayed by competition right now (IFE and Connectivity) and have lost their ability to innovate

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
