RTX reviews

All levels of management are technically ignorant in general and new to RVS and IR sensors in particular (in my management chain no one has held their current job for more than 2 years). They thus lack technical knowledge or practical experience to make rational decisions. You will lack management support for growing your own or departmental capabilities because they honestly will have no frame of reference in which to evaluate any requests. Thus, decisions are made primarily on a political basis. If you are technically oriented, RVS is a poor choice.

Very politically charged environment. Promotions and advancement seem to be based more on ones political gamesmanship and ability to schmooze within the right circles. An absolute popularity contest. There seems to be numerous lists of people better than the unwashed masses ;-) "Leadership Development Program," "Ninjas," "Presidents Culture Initiative," [insert flavor of the month here]. While these things aren't bad in and of themselves they do betray a cultural sense of exclusivity that is unattainable to most, including many top performers.
