      EMS is Poorly Managed

      Senior mechanical engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Coworkers are great when they don't leave.

      Cons

      Company recently gave employees a raise to keep wages competitive (approx 10% if you're lucky), but those leaving are getting raises of 20% to 30% on average. So GA's definition of competitive is to stay "competitively" below the market. The attrition is insane. The work seems to be dwindling. Moral is in the mud. Very sad for a company that created the next gen catapults. GA lays off the loyal workers and seems to keep those who could care less.
