Pros

There is always something new happening, always a new challenge. I get to work with a group of very talented scientists and engineers. Because DeTect has radar systems deployed all over the world, travel to various countries is almost guaranteed for upper level folks. DeTect is one of the very few employers that pays 100% medical (health, vision, and dental) for employee and family.

Cons

Sometimes the complete lack of planning can get to me. Most of the time, things are in emergency mode. Cash flow is a bit of feast or famine. There seems to be a mentality that "as long as the check will clear" anything goes. Once the money slows down, things get interesting.

Pros

Allows for flexing time around when working remote as long as work gets done. Very knowledgeable and supportive team while still maintaining professionalism. The whole company is there to succeed and improve - from CEO to the ground floor. Work is dynamic and never boring.

Cons

Going through growing pains, so there are people wearing many hats (but they are open to cross training, if you want that). This also means you have to set your boundaries around work, but co-workers will respect them. This also means quite a few people will work more hours to ensure work is done.

Pros

Small family type environment, everyone knows you and you know them.

Cons

Long term company strategy seems illusive and hard to figure out.
