Pros
-Very interesting work, engineering focused -Talented and knowledgeable engineers, easy to work with. -Improving in areas it had problems before A lot of really interesting engineering work at Trident with engineers having different backgrounds to bring to the table. Trident has a good set of CAD tools and electronics lab for a small company. Their seems to have been some good changes in the past year or so to fix problems that have been around, like with BD and middle management. Work seems to be on the upswing from the '09-'12 years, and there are a lot of internal research and development projects going on.
Cons
-Project management seems disorganized -Communication from senior management is lacking, though this seems to be getting better Lack of project planning often results in everything being one fire drill after another, making it hard for the engineers to do our job. It is sometimes hard to really know what is going on with the company because the senior management keeps silent. Some of the turn over in the past few years and it seems to be getting a little bit better, but knowing what contracts or upcoming work is there is still an issue.
