Pros

- Technically you can learn a lot - Engineers are often skilled and pleasant to work with - Short Friday

Cons

- management has no anticipation, no vision. Decisions are being made that are dooming from day 1 - middle management tolerates abusive behavior by lower management towards engineers, as long and there are results - deep ingrained fear culture - interviews focus on tech skills alone, no filtering on mindset, thinking, communication skills, openness to other ideas - I strongly recommend not working for the Romanian office

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
