Pros

1. Engineering team 2. Awesome technology (biometrics) That's about it.

Cons

1. Middle level management are selfish, & bias. They only care about their bonuses. 2. Shamelessly expect you to slog for long hours, come on weekends, etc., without even comp days off (and forget about extra pay) 3. No career growth whatsoever, unless you are buddies with the managers, and play golf with them. 4. Employees are not valued in this company. 5. On the flip side, some became managers with just 2 years' career experience and with absolutely no talent. 6. And now after Safran acquired, nothing changed locally (in concord), but layoffs began. Do not join this company, it is a sinking ship. One by one, people are leaving. 7. Too many politics.

Many learning opportunities for troubleshooting different types of avian generator control units. Opportunities to work with a variety of engineering departments including production, test, quality, and industrialization. Occasional overtime opportunities.

Cons

High stress due to production deadlines, especially at the end of month. Miscommunications due to constant reprioritizing of needs. Difficult to move from short term (1 year+ only) contracts to full time positions.
