Pros

Good place to work if you're genuinely interested in physics, electronics and software. Good work life balance most of the time. People mostly cooperative and helpful.

Cons

A lot of dead wood in senior roles due to time served. It's being addressed, so we'll see. Evolved in the UK from buy outs so not particularly coherent between the different sites. Good projects are not always available. Can seem very bureaucratic when you start.

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
