Pros

Engineers are given the ability to do all design, analysis, fab and test work for radar and laser hardware. Great team environment with smart friendly people.

Cons

Program management will roll over to the needs of the customer with zero impact to their (PM) work load and major impact on the engineers work load. Leads to late nights and weekend prior to deadlines.
