Great Work Culture, Horrible Management/Communication

Project financial analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

The pay and work culture was great.

Cons

Poor management style, no communication, for it to be a gov. contractor that works with the DOD, they do not convert your clearance if you have one. The hire employees they DO NOT need and lay off staff that was beneficial to the company working nights and weekends to meet deadlines.

Questionable

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Free snacks and soda. Bi-weeky cookouts. Good benefits.

Cons

Not aware of or deliberately non-compliant with engineering best practices. Lackadaisical leadership. Unrealistic timelines. High turnover due to wild oscillation between mass layoffs and mass hiring. Questionable safety culture - lots of reminders not to run people over with the robots as if that happens regularly and lots of running vehicles indoors without ventilation. Operators receive little or no training. Poor financial shape (they're on their last chance with their investor and are cashflow negative). Unenforceable 18 month noncompete required at hiring. Also a location that's in the absolute middle of nowhere with most people commuting from 40-60 minutes away.

Pros

Good pay, benefits and office perks.

Cons

Was difficult to work with engineering group who never new how to collaborate or be kind. It seemed they always wanted new ideas to be done the way they wanted and not how the organization needs to evolve.
