It's been rough the past 4 years. Continuous layoffs and benefits decreasing

Senior systems engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice people to work with. Great Neighborhood. People in Southern New Jersey are kind of anti social though.

Cons

The stack and rack ranking system we copied from Microsoft is cancerous and must go. There is a sense that improving your ability as an engineer is the long hard road towards promotion and accounting work such as Earn Value for CAMS are the easier way to gain recognition and advancement. It feels at times that our products are not designed by engineers but by accountants. At the end of the day, I would say filling out my time and figuring out all the cost accounts to properly charge is more difficult and stressful then my actual engineering tasks.
