Pros

There are two areas which are both interesting from the point of a software developer. Cyber Security is the future, and it bears lots of challenges and new topics for the future. Railway Interlocking Systems are of great importance for the transport of people and cargo and get them save to their destination. This is an area where you need to "always be on the save side" or somebody will die.

Cons

As with any big company they loose the contact to the "soldiers" management starts to get in lofty heights and is surprised if the rest is not guessing what they want, or like to have done.

Pros

*This only applies to the Montgomeryville location* None. Used to be a great place to work. I enjoyed the work I did and the various teams I worked with.

Cons

*This only applies to the Montgomeryville location* -Health benefits have gotten worse each year. -Constant layoffs. -Changed from an 8 hour 3 shift day, 5 days a week to a 10 hour 2 shift day, 4 days out of the week. The idea was to save money on overtime, then they started asking the employees to stay the 4 hours between shifts. Then they started asking the employees to work the extra 3 days. Then they made the employees sign a waiver, making the 3 days mandatory when needed. -Flat raises, everyone gets the same raise. -Lower management no longer cares -Upper management is too focused on vanity projects or no longer cares
