Lots of experience Purged most of the bad employees through several layoffs

CEO Hudson, the First Lady of Defense is remaking BAE into her last incarnation of GDATP. Engineer's ability to be very hands on with the products is reduced as more and more manufacturing is outsourced.

Pros

My pros are my manager and team coworkers. Outside of that not really a fan. I do well at what I do.

Cons

Honestly, ever since new management has come for the upper VPs and directors, a lot has shifted for the negative. Feels very micromanaging when we were told we were doing fine at home and there was no reason to have us come back in the office. Now suddenly we’re being forced back to the office. Other departments and I don’t really get along because there’s a bunch of petty people just trying to get others in trouble and all I’m doing is trying to do my job. Where I am at, everyone just talks all day and then complains about how much work they have.
