Used to be a very decent place to work

Engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It seems to be a solid growing company from the outside.

Cons

Murky leadership decision reasoning. A struggling HR department (perhaps due to high turnover?) Employee benefits are slowly being reduced in order to maximize management bonuses.. Management clearly thinks that having fewer employees can actually get more work done (if only the employees would work more hours... a lot more hours).

Lack of Leadership

Finance

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Have made some good hires in the last year trying to fix some ongoing problems.

Cons

Very poor upper leadership, especially the CEO. Unable to hold sales accountable for selling unprofitable work. Blames Operations and Finance including trusted good employees, for all the issues. Trying to acquire a company? Laughable.

Move to digital simulation is paying off in 2Q 2016

Executtive project manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

2Q 2016 results show headwinds but under control for longer term growth. CEO and CIO strategy is paying off. IT VP is now named Digital CIO. Move towards digital simulation in lieu of physical testing is paying off. Slowly but surely strategy is attracting new workers with Android and iOS skill sets. Testing can be done remotely via smartphones; and from great distances, across oceans and seas. CEO has found new markets for testing machines - segments are now deploying the new Bison testing machines in Montana; may extend testing to high altitude mammal testing. IT strategy is slowly moving toward a green strategy in alignment with federal regulations. Investors may be impatient but good long term sentiment will prevail

Cons

Missing estimates is a negative
