Pros

Not too many good things about this company anymore. Used to be a fun/good place to work and growing, but no more.

Cons

Very slim upper management team, and the ones there are clueless. Former CEO was arrested for PPP loan scam, new CEO doesn't seem to know what he's doing. Many people left because of incompetence and greed in the company, many upper management people fired recently. Former owner took over the company and seems they are trying to make the numbers look good in hopes to sell the company.

Pros

Yes, the 401K package is far below industry standards Yes, we had a corrupt CEO and a few of his friends tarnish the reputation of the company Yes, former leadership was very out of touch with their employees and did not know how to run a company BUT... All the bad apples have been removed and the future is bright for this company. The company has re-focused on what it does best: offering innovative solutions for the maritime defense industry. It is a great place to work as an Engineer. Lots of active programs (and more continuing to be added). Very well respected by our primary customers (Office of Naval Research, DARPA, NAVSEA), as evidenced by their continued investments in the company. The current leadership team is new to running a company, but they all come from successful backgrounds in the Defense industry and are highly respected by our customers. The company does allow a great work/life balance, compared most other companies in the defense engineering industry. There are growing pains (all companies experience them), but the future is bright, and the company is returning to its roots and is a great place to work.

Cons

The negative reviews from former employees on this website. Reach out to those of us who currently work at the company for an accurate review.
