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

Pros

Great co-workers and amazing products. Able to learn a lot from very experienced people. Enjoy coming into work everyday that their is work to be done.

Cons

Mismanaged. Managers do not take input from their employees and blindly follow orders from above due to fear of loosing their job. Forced overtime even when there is no work to be done.

Pros

Intereesting work and good products.

Cons

Dealing with the continuing corporate shuffle is terrible. The goal here seems to be, add more management and squeeze the workers for their bonuses.
