Senior Leadership is so out of touch

Systems engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Standard pros of any other defense contractor, nothing special. 4/10 schedule.

Cons

Senior Leadership does not listen to their employees at all. They make decisions and shove it down our throats without any insight. It was leaked that they are fully removing hybrid work because they believe working from home is why programs are late and over budget. This is not the case whatsoever and any amount of pleading and reason won't reach their thick skulls. This move will lead any of our senior members to quit, and I can't wait to see programs go into ruin due to the limited amount of experience of the people who stay.
