A def culture problem in El Segundo, too many levels of mid and upper level management making incompetent decisions, turnover, old school and lack creativity in the good ole boy network(s).
Unfortunately, favortism, nepotism and rule by an iron fist in some depts still apply here.
Recognition or promotion only applies if your nose isnt where its supposed to be.
Respect... talk, talk, talk, and no...some just keep on talking.
Ethics...more talk and not enough real behavior modification.
Profit metrics and who gets the RBI are the key drivers for programs. Any room for customer?
Another poster commented on lack of eye contact or recognition in the hallways, what, do i dress funny? not up to your standard to at least acknowledge ones very existance?
The wasted tax payer money and failed X-Lounge playroom, (the Google Experiment) has the same people "playing" while the rest of us working stiffs are ruled by militant management who are just looking for the opportunity to catch anyone "goofing off".
Now that the GAO money well is running dry, the products are suffering, the people are suffering..but corp profits, RBI's and cash are up!, so many of you are sitting on a overhead charge.
If you are assigned to a successful program, good luck, someone higher up will def cram their way up onto your turf and steal your success thunder, thats the Raytheon Way of doing business.
Stressful.....the number of ambulances/fire dept visits, sudden deaths and illnesses, must be having an affect on the bottom line, higher insurance premiums and OSHA recordables.
Lastly, young people, begin your career here, take as much knowledge as you can and move on to another where you will be valued, respected and treated like you are human, unless you like to be mean, "mean people are more successful than nice people"--so the story goes. The older crowd is unfortunately stuck waiting to claim payout for their years, if they survive that is.
