Pros

The pay and benefits are decent

Cons

Never have I worked with or for an organization with such little focus on quality. At best the Phoenix location is just another glorified mom and pop with an AS9100 cert. If you are a low motivation employee content with using technologies from the early 2000s, this place is for you. If however you're looking for an opportunity to make actual changes to improve the status quo, I'd suggest you look elsewhere.

Some management have a difficult time getting along with others. Staff encourages everyone to write reviews on Glassdoor so our ratings stay up.
