No HAZMAT, but still a toxic work environment - Mechanical Engineer Tethers Unlimited Employee Review

Pros

Occasional WFH, some projects are really interesting, machine shop on site

Cons

Project goals are nebulous, but not nearly as what direction the company is headed in. The pay is lower than market rates and everyone knows it, which doesn't really help department morale. But there's so much infighting, backstabbing, and backbiting among the group, including department heads and other employees, that keeping your opinion to yourself until you get somewhere else lined up is probably your smart bet. Trust no one. Lock your desk, lock your screen.

Pros

Smart, passionate people who care about the company's mission.

Cons

When Rob Hoyt ran the company (before ARKA purchased TUI), the company did better. The ARKA purchase did not go well. Chronically understaffed; PMs ended up doing Finance, Contracts, PM, BD, and intermittently backfilled the one overworked Scheduler. Not enough Engineers (all disciplines) to staff programs per awarded schedules.
