Good compensation (if negotiated cleverly), bad management (for big projects)

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Friendly staff, Good working hours as per contract (but always end up working much more that what is stated in contract)

Cons

Management needs improvement, no overtime payment, unrealistic work hour expectation (weekends/late hours), work overload + will not take additional people due to budget constraints - so a single person ends up doing the work of 2 - 3 people. Micro-management, Micro-management, Micro-management

Business Outlook

Pros

PTO, Flex-schedule and thats it.

Cons

Difficult to advance - will hold you down for as long as they can. Very political - all about who you know rather than what you know. Poor communication from senior management. One of the worst and most inefficient companies I have worked for.

Business Outlook

Pros

-Flexible in taking PTO whenever you like. -There are a lot of young engineers to form a nice social group.

Cons

-Ladder and ranking system to determine promotions and merit raises. Promotions and merit raises are determined in the previous year (ex: For 2009 year, ranking is determined Nov/Dec 2009) before performance reviews/summaries are written and conducted during (ex: For 2009, Feb 2010) for the previous year. Instead of making everyone's salaries the same, award the top performing employees better raises. -Expand educational assistance to allow engineers to obtain MBA degrees. They are the only top 4 aerospace defense contractor to restrict employees to obtain MBA degrees. -Not much flow down from section managers about job positions in other existing projects within the company in case your current project is ending and phasing out.
