Pros

Excellent benefits, friendly coworkers, small company feel.

Cons

Lack of tooling, work instructions and training. No upward movement if you are not in the club. Jobs are not posted until the last minute and only known to those that are wanted for the position. If you are a woman in production you will NOT move up. There is not one woman on the production floor that is a team lead, supervisor or manager. How they skirt the equal opportunity laws is beyond me.

Pros

Well managed all around. Used to be a really good place to work, but since they went public, it's just a good place to work.

Cons

Defence industry, typical feast or famine. Either working over time to tight schedules or nothing to do.

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.
