Foot In The Door

Pros

I view this company as a foot in the door to aerospace, once you get some knowledge "if your entry level" take it and get yourself a better company who treats their employees fairly and respectfully.

Cons

The company lacks employee motivation, level promotion is like a unicorn, doesn't exist. If you have medical appointments make sure you have PTO or they mark it as unexcused even if they say they won't and it's been approved through Aflac.

Pros

Work is very stable here even during the COVID-19 pandemic. The name recognition of the company carries good weight.

Cons

-Absolute neglect of proper health and safety conditions at the facility in Sunnyvale. Employees who can do their work in a sufficient manner working remotely were required to come into work 5 days a week on my direct team. Most of our work is done using computers sitting in cubicles, yet there was zero flexibility despite senior leadership saying so. If remote-capable workers are required to come in 5 days a week during the worst part of the pandemic (3% ICU Capacity), why is it that management seems to be absent from the campus? -The Sunnyvale campus promised to have a running dashboard of people in isolation and positive cases but no sign of updates after the initial powerpoint 2 months prior. -Management is severely out of touch with the actual employees doing the work. Excessive back-and-forth just to relay the status of work or to confirm a problem. The actual people with technical knowledge are treated extremely poorly. Management hires based on nepotism and do not have a good technical breadth of the work they are conducting. -Pay is 10-15% below average for competitive roles in the Bay Area
