Pros

A good place to work for internships and new grads. The 9/80 work schedule (9 hrs/day, every other Friday off) is really nice.

Cons

Not a good place for mid/senior level employees. These are the people that get laid off first when DoD/Govt budgets get cut on a yearly basis. Benefits WERE very good in 2007, but have been cut drastically every year since.

Sad to witness the decline of the business due to mismanagement.

Anonymous employee

Pros

Working with some very good people with great technical expertise that are committed to doing a good job.

Cons

Poor senior management. Some bad acquisitions put the company in trouble. Managers whose business declined under their watch are protected and others pushed out the door. Senior management did not know how to protect and grow the business and got run over by the competition.

Thank you for more than ten years! As a long-term employee, I’m sure you’ll understand the defense industry ebbs and flows. Over the past few years, management has made a concerted effort to ensure long-term, steady success, in fact our latest report reflects a strong start for the company this year and we’re very excited about the new opportunities in public safety that are being pursued in addition to other programs. We are working hard to improve communication between staff and senior management. As part of this process, we will be sure to share your advice with our senior management so that they may better inform our employees of their various efforts to keep the company going strong. Thank you again for your review.
