Pros

Flexible hours during the weekday. Opportunity for travel internationally. Benefits are comparable. Many bright people work there (excluding the management!)

Cons

The scamming, corporate corruption and pay disparity are sick. Managers fighting managers, the results don't matter, only ego and money. None of the upper management is interested in the best results for the company, only justifying their ridiculous paychecks, while they screw the rest of the working engineers. Unrealistic deadlines for projects that ALWAYS end up being extended or cancelled. Upper management is full of regurgitated BS that they spew for convenience., Everyone is defensive and insecure of their jobs. Little cohesiveness between any team in the company, much less any of the operating companies. They'll make you work weekends and overtime with no extra pay, for projects that will only get cancelled because of upper-management politics. Contractors are so rampid there, you don't know who even actually works there! Conflict of interest and collusion between upper management and contract companies are commonplace.

Pros

There are excellent and talented folks in nearly every division. Reputation with reps and dealers is strong and company products are often innovative and well-researched and tested. Service has historically been a big strength. Company has a very strong history of excellence going way back to WWII submarines which were the world's best.

Cons

Management has attempted to move too many people into corporate positions and has shrunk the staff of separate divisions to the point where getting a response to customer requests becomes difficult. The HR people are great and really care about helping employees.
