Pros
-New age satellite and RF communications technology -Experienced engineers within team -a self driven environment -self ownership -free "snacks" and a weekly Thursday catered lunch. (this is laughable)
Cons
-the company is very investor driven and not a lot of compassion and care towards employees. The CEO cares more about investor money and keeping them happy than taking care of own employees -terrible work culture -subpar job benefits -vacation accrual rate of 2.3 hours per pay period -job entrapment through relocation -bonus structure is beyond terrible. You would need to work 65-80 hour work weeks to even be considered for a bonus -schedule restraints cause engineers to work and meet deadlines that aren't achievable causing cuts through manufacturing/test flow. Doesn't feel like you're giving customer a good product -management is not where it needs to be. This causes more stress on teams due to bad resource management and bad management of scheduling -last minute tasks take priority just to get a product out. This happens almost everyday causing you to push out own priorities. This inevitably causes bad questions during performance reviews. -no vacation time. Even when on vacation there is no personal space as people still schedule meetings or call about things that are hot. -extremely long times to backfill positions on teams causing a bigger work load -sometimes reluctant to hire during different phases of a project. -the company is a mess and not heading in a good direction from an employee standpoint -The amount of overtime worked every month over a year they would owe me $40000. They wouldn't even try to negotiate this overhead prior to signing a work contract.
