High quality of engineers Good benefit package Work schedule (off-Friday every other week) Tuition Reimbursement Program

Ineffective communication between departments Ineffective Quality Control Low production standards Management only cares about meeting deadlines Office space is not conducive to happiness at workplace, very outdated sense of employee satisfaction i.e NO WINDOWS, old conference rooms, small outside area, cafeteria space is so bland with vending machines and unhealthy options, no gym or gym membership help, desk space is often dusty, this is not a place that you see and wish you could work there. No sense of company culture or community.

Pros

The only Pro with this company was having every other Friday off.

Cons

Poor leadership and management culture. In my experience, management positions are often filled from a small, long-tenured group, resulting in limited diversity of thought and few opportunities for outside perspectives. Many leaders lacked the skills needed to effectively develop, mentor, and support their teams. Rather than addressing organizational issues, accountability often seemed to flow downward, with lower-level employees bearing the consequences of management decisions. I also observed talented Program Managers leaving or being terminated under circumstances that suggested they were being held responsible for broader organizational problems rather than receiving appropriate leadership support. Overall, the culture discouraged transparency, accountability, and professional growth.
