Pros

-Amazing benefits package. Retirement package is a SEP IRA. And health is paid 80%. -Small business environment is great for motivated engineers who want to try many different things or gain exposure to other areas. -R&D background has transitioned into some unique products with long term potential. -Trident likes to promote from within. If you do good work, they will find a way to reward you. -Trident has some smart engineers who know their arena very well.

Cons

-Some employees are entrenched in their jobs, but not doing them well. -Some divisions are managed horribly, and it shows in their work product. -Small company with the bureaucracy of a large company. Many things are over complicated or not honestly understood. -Some management think everyone must be micromanaged because some employees can't identify priorities properly.

Pros

Trident is a strong company creating transformative technologies. I have had the opportunity to grow and try many different aspects of my job over my time at Trident through strong mentoring and guidance from my management. Since the acquisition by LightRidge Solutions, we have been afforded even more opportunities to grow and work alongside our sister companies. Employees have greater insight into job growth and opportunities as the company has grown. Trident is a great place for engineers looking to prove their skill sets and climb the ladder quickly.

Cons

As Trident has grown, more engineers have joined who do not understand the vision/mission for the company, and act like it's something it isn't (a place to focus on themselves, a place where they are entitled to promotions without being better than their peers, a place where they make the business decisions for the company). This makes it hard for those of us working to build strong technological foundations that can transform our industry.
