Comtech Telecommunications reviews

Get ready to work long hours, even as they tell you there is work-life balance, there is none. Work is first. There is no comp time. Primarily, there is NO training whatsoever. Even as they have procedures written down...you are supposed to figure things out on your own. Recently they had layoffs. So think twice. Benefits are expensive to get.

Lower salaries compared to other Seattle companies. Horrible work life balance especially if you work in the Operations. Incompetent management with no vision and unable to make decision in changing technology landscape. 90% of the management spent majority of their career at Comtech and don't know how to deal with the changing market conditions. They run day-to-day operations in a ad-hoc mode similar to a startup. Management is not skilled nor knowledgeable in changing technology landscape and loosing revenue. Top management is failing to attract new talent from outside due to low salaries and push back from current management who are afraid of changes. We often see positions being filled in the middle management with out a job advertisement with a friends of current management. Classic sign of incompetent management afraid of changes. With the rise of cost of living in Seattle and inflation, majority of the employee salaries are considerably lower than other places in Seattle. Management is hiring new employees at much higher salaries and penalizing old employees in every team. This created a lot of hostility in between new and old employees in the teams and some new employees left after couple of months. When old employees ask for a raise, they reduce the salaries in the Job posting and lie to employees blatantly about new hire salaries while continue to hire new employees at higher salaries. Management is not willing for unable to talk to corporate management on the salary topic and ignore problem as if it does not exits.
