Pros

I can not think of any Pros

Cons

CEO is very behavior is very rude and unprofessional CEO will ask the department managers to make their underneath employees work late hours /Saturday / Sunday / Holidays / Vacation and Managers will have to do so otherwise they will loose the job The manpower is very less as compare to workload because of cost cutting. Very high health insurance cost (around $650 - $1000 per month comes out from your monthly salary). Every year this amount is getting increased which is coming out of your salary. No career growth. No Job security. They will assign you a 4 month project / Task and will ask you to complete with in 15 days and if you are not able to complete it as per CEO's desire then you will be fired (in case of new hire) or demoted during your performance review (30, 60, 90 days and yearly). No respect for employee's personal life Any one who is planning to join this company, please go in Roanoke VA area and find out people who are currently working there or ex-employees to find out reality. Almost all the current employees are frustrated. Company Policies 1. Weekend Travel 2. 60-80 hours of work during one week 3. Availability on all weekends / Holidays / Vacations 4. Maximum 2 weeks of vacation at one go 5. No compensatory of even if you work 70 hours a week 6. No work from home which means for any reason (natural or personal) you can not come to office then you will have to use your personal time off / vacation for that day but CEO and other managers will call you while you are at home during your time off to do the meetings (very frustrating) 7. CEO can miss any scheduled meetings at anytime but you can not miss his meetings at any time (weekdays / weekends / Vacation / Holidays) 8. You have to check email on your phone every hour 9. No flights for 1-10 hours of drive so drive during night and attend the office in the morning 10. No hotels - CEO has rented multiple houses in Roanoke VA , Rincon GA, Pocatello ID which is the only option for you to stay when you visit these locations so you will have to share the house with other people whom you might not ever met 11. Share the rental car, CEO has left his own old car to be utilized for traveling which I am not sure how safe that is 12. Phone paging - CEO will page you 4 times with in 30 seconds if you don't reply to his page with in 2 seconds CEO always micromanages all the department

Pros

Nothing I can say about

Cons

The current organizational structure reflects serious gaps in leadership capability, technical understanding, and workplace culture. In several key positions, individuals with limited technical background and communication skills are placed in critical roles such as Testing Head, Quality Head, and Production Supervision. This creates a disconnect between engineering requirements and decision-making at the operational level. The environment is further affected by high internal politics across multiple levels of the organization. Instead of addressing root causes, issues are often deflected between departments, with individuals prioritizing self-protection and maintaining their image in front of ownership rather than resolving engineering and production challenges. A significant concern is the lack of alignment between management decisions and engineering realities. Operational constraints, production challenges, and technical workflows are frequently misunderstood or overlooked, particularly due to a strong bias toward cost and procurement perspectives rather than end-to-end engineering execution. Additionally, the work environment has become increasingly challenging for engineering professionals. Many experienced engineers have chosen to leave the organization after securing long-term stability opportunities, and there is limited willingness among them to return due to the prevailing work culture. Overall, the combination of weak technical leadership, excessive internal politics, and misaligned priorities has created an environment that is not conducive to sustainable engineering excellence or employee retention.
