- Low employee morale
- Inept senior management that is completely out of touch with the staff doing the engineering work.
- The growth strategy is to buy firms, do a poor job integrating the new acquisitions into a poorly thought out, rigid accounting-driven business approach that engineers hate, and then move on to new acquisitions while bleeding talent from the demoralized workforce.
- Senior management focuses on new "orders" at the expense of virtually everything else. It is clear that orders and utilization drive everything, and how the work is delivered is secondary
- Instead of addressing employee concerns, the messaging from senior management is empty rhetoric that is often at odds with their actions.
- For an industry where knowledge and experience mean absolutely everything it is amazing how much talent and experience the company has squandered
