Pros

Health care and vacation benefits are okay

Cons

The company moves people from contracts without any advanced notice. It's definitely not a stable or enjoyable place to work, and the management do not respect employees at all. Also, when hired, I was told that there would be tuition and training benefits, but then after being hired, was told no training was budgeted for for the year, and there might be funds budgeted next year. And, contracts are not necessarily managed well, with too many layers of management, and allowing enough decision-making at level where employees are working with customers and understand customer needs best.

Pros

Interesting products and work assignments

Cons

In process of being acquired by General Dynamics AIS in third quarter of 2009. As a result the "small company" environment at Axsys may disappear.

Pros

A good place to start but after a year the pace and leadership wears your morale down. Again a good place to strart.

Cons

Leadership is somewhat of a hit or miss. If your liked it's great but if your not someone who bends to the management winds it's not great.
