Pros

Better benefits, lots of work

Cons

Ever since the Thales takeover, this job is going way downhill IT is a roadblock, no longer a service. Horrible service, far too many silly new rules. Loss of flight privilege at Jet Blue is a huge hit to the value of working here Grown too big too fast Might as well work at Harris or Northrup Terribly unproductive "open" office, just a desk in a big room Salaries retarded by undercutting with H1-B people Not enough respect given to engineers Management is becoming even more of a clique, especially engineering management (SW) Very poor feedback to employees.

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
