Pros
- Very important work that will provide a sense of purpose. - At the working level, there are some truly great people. - Fort Worth is a wonderful area to live.
Cons
- There seems to be a corporate wide effort to outsource as much engineering and technical work as possible. - Upper management seems to be encouraged to separate themselves from line level workers. - Incentives for upper level management are often counter to stated company goals. - Good managers are put into a difficult position of towing the misdirected company line while still trying to motivate employees. - The latest management tool (e.g. EVMS, SAFe/AGILE) will be forced on all workers regardless of any possible benefit beyond a specific area. - Performance appraisals will mostly focus on justifications (read that as excuses) for a minimal compensation. These justifications will often directly contradict quarterly performance reports. - Trying very hard to form an inverted pyramid business structure.
