Pros

Work life balance is great, great benefits, retirement plan is great after working for 2 years to receive your money and most co-workers are great to work with.

Cons

HR Department needs a change and one is not comfortable going to HR with a situation. Upper management is not truthful with how well the company is doing, therefore layoffs came as a shock. No training provided for career growth. Hire Project Managers, and engineers that can actually produce products that the company can sell to make a profit.

Pros

Trident Systems has a very independent environment with great benefits and an incredible retirement package.

Cons

Trident System lacks an infrastructure for career development and career paths are limited. After 26 years, management is only now beginning to invest more of its own money in Trident's products.
