Senior staff engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

Great compensation, work/life balance, well respected company, very meaningful job, and nice people. Tries to value innovation and reward talents - at least back on the right track. Bought by SAAB AB in 2011- went from a small unstable company to be part of a well-respected global company. Central NY is a great place to raise young kids - great public schools (FM, JD) and very reasonable housing cost

Cons

Depends too much on government contracts - concerns w. sequester coming. Not a highly profitable business - means no bonus. Attracts mostly local talents - hard to attract top notch. Senior and mid management are still on the weak side - lack of experience in general and perceived as lacking accountability - not to bad if you are afraid to make mistakes... Syracuse winter means lots of snow - not too bad if you like to ski...

Business Outlook

Pros

There is opportunity for growth in different areas of technology. There is also the opportunity to see how the companies products are actually being utilized.

Cons

I think there should be a little bit more transparency between upper management and the employees.

The companies technology makes it safer to fly and the business would be more viable with stronger product management

Business Outlook

Pros

Team of people are talented technically, and solutions for making air travel safer are the best in the world (most installations at world's 100 busiest airports).

Cons

The positives said about technical talent are countered by the lack of business savy talent. While there are several strong business leaders there are not enough people with business talent. Additionally tuition reimbursement frozen and talent voluntarily leaving before the new owners Saab and also under the new owners.
