Pros

Some really smart people work here. Nice to come to work and not have your average idiot that took aa few math/science/engineering classes in college and thinks they know it all.

Cons

Company has trouble discerning difference between people who have functional knowledge, and those full of triva or useless information. Company doesn't understand ROI. After spending several years and millions of dollars on personnel that don't yield sales of product or business, the solution is to change the titles? The definition of instanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result. Favoritism and nepotism overule most business decisions. Shoot the messenger methodology often used when problems identified. Corporate culture among engineers good - but they tolerate very rude, unprofessional behavior from some executives. With the really smart there are some really weird - so at times there can be some awkward interactions in the common areas. Telecommuting was a nice benefit, but that is being eliminated.

Pros

Trident is a strong company creating transformative technologies. I have had the opportunity to grow and try many different aspects of my job over my time at Trident through strong mentoring and guidance from my management. Since the acquisition by LightRidge Solutions, we have been afforded even more opportunities to grow and work alongside our sister companies. Employees have greater insight into job growth and opportunities as the company has grown. Trident is a great place for engineers looking to prove their skill sets and climb the ladder quickly.

Cons

As Trident has grown, more engineers have joined who do not understand the vision/mission for the company, and act like it's something it isn't (a place to focus on themselves, a place where they are entitled to promotions without being better than their peers, a place where they make the business decisions for the company). This makes it hard for those of us working to build strong technological foundations that can transform our industry.
