      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Dynamic work environment, still a small company feel, motivated employees will go far, many skilled technicians and engineers, lots of pilots

      Cons

      Suffering from growing pains, inconsistent processes/procedures based on who you're dealing with, accountability is an issue amongst many people, there are very highly motivated people and many that are completely unmotivated

      Poor Management

      Systems engineer iii
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Immediate colleagues are great people, some very technically knowledgeable.

      Cons

      not flexible on leave, working from home, or managing work/life balance. No overtime pay as a defense contractor, the few days between Christmas and New Years are "optional work days" and you are required to use CAL, paid time off, or work those days, unlike most other defense contractors I've worked for. BAD MANAGEMENT. There are far too many levels of management, and the management does NOT know what they are doing in regards to basic systems engineering.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Opportunity to work with a vast variety of personnel to provide the customers with the best product available. No tied to the office, with flexible work environment.

      Cons

      It is called a job for a reason. Communication between departments needs to be improved.
