Pros

Decent Pay and Benefits for job level

Cons

Poor Management that is more concerned with their position than with moving the company forward. Only the French employees have an real staying power. Since there are no laws that protect American employees they are disposable. Extremely high turnover rate. No team integrity and no structure for engineering (even so far as to following the principles of Agile). Engineering is a nightmare. No Configuration or Data control or management. The lights are kept in by the old IFEC system programs. They are unable to keep a customer or contract for more than a year. They speak of "Digital Transformation" but are completely unwilling to change the way they do business to adapt to the market. Definitely stay away if you are an engineer over the age of 30. Bad place for intermediate/senior level engineers of all disciplines

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
