Pros

The 9/80 schedule was nice

Cons

Awful culture. Felt like I went back 20 years in time (and not in a good way). Not a forward thinking company and misrepresents themselves as being one. Retroactive in everything they do. Terrible planning from the top which impacted everyone. Leadership did not listen to their employees and have people in management roles that do not want to manage.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Our company operates in a fast-paced, dynamic environment where agility, adaptability, and responsiveness are essential. While this can at times mean that not everything is fully mapped out in advance, it also allows us to move quickly, adjust to changing priorities, and focus on deliverables. We believe this approach is critical to staying competitive and continuing to grow. We recognize that this environment is not the right fit for everyone, and we respect each individual’s experience. Your feedback reinforces our commitment to stay true to our values while continuing to improve how we communicate, lead, and work together

Pros

They pay for employee and family healthcare premiums and costs. They initially provide competitive compensation. They have a 9/80 schedule (every other Friday off). The work is challenging and never boring.

Cons

What I was taught by their actions is that employees are ledger items. There is little security in your position's longevity especially if they lose out on contracts they'd planned to win, They will only provide you the minimum of what's legally required of them if you're let go. I had two straight years of exemplary annual reviews, smashing expectations and successfully adding extended value in Support, Operations, Financial Planning, New-hire training, and completely overhauling what had been a very bad departmental reputation before my time. And I was given two DAYS notice of my termination with zero severance package (with the knowledge we were three weeks out from a vacation we'd already planned/paid for and a six year old and wife that they knew depended on my income and healthcare for their only security/wellbeing). So, I'd warn you to not expect them to adhere to their own core values. And don't expect a raise beyond what you agreed to in the new-hire negotiations. You might get something small, but nothing on par with your actual value. The work never stops thanks in part to a constant fire-fighting/reactionary work methodology as well as an overall lack of core procedural direction by leadership. It was extraordinarily disappointing to experience. But I am still thankful for the time I got to share with my team, coworkers across departments, and for the yet another of life's wonderful lessons. Don't trust them.

Pros

The people, outside of leadership, are great.

Cons

- There is no diversity or inclusion. Racial and discriminatory comments are made without any action taken. There is not 1 person of (any) color represented in their leadership team - IT IS UNSAFE. Not sure how no one has submitted an OSHA claim yet - they test jet engines feet away from people working. If anything happens to the engine, someone can be killed or seriously injured. Additionally the smell and sound of the engine tests cause medical issues like headaches and tough breathing. When you go to HR, they don’t do anything about it and don’t allow you to WFH during testing hours. - Infestation of insects. They are everywhere! Reported to HR, and nothing done about it - CEO speaks to team members like we’re 5 years old but most of the engineers have more education and experience in our product than he does. - No competitive pay. They expect you to work long hours but do not compensate accordingly OR allow you to leave early another day to compensate OT - They talk a lot about our impact and the contracts we get but during my tenure, I did not see any actual engines being made and sold
