WORST COMPANY EVER

Pros

Absolutely none- at all. Terrible, terrible work environment.

Cons

Absolutely terrible management, no benefits, make promises during hiring process and then take them all away once you begin working for them. No work life balance at ALL. Expect you to eat, live and breath their terrible company culture. Not flexible with families or persons commuting- even when they advertise they are. No support from very beginning- took almost 3 months to get a company phone and was expected to pay for my own long distance company calls from my personal number- w/o reimbursement for all 3 months. First day (second day on job) met our Executive and he took me to lunch- ordered his food first then paid for his- and his only. No direction, yet expected to perform miracles in seconds. Screaming boss, demeaning, unsupportive. Filed a harassment suit w/ HR against a co-worker my SECOND week- only to have it backfire on me and make my life an absolute living hell for the remainder of the time I was employed. No way Boston office is able to stay afloat with their incredibly poor direction and management styles. Won’t spend a dime on employees- even for standard daily operating procedures- yet will shell out THOUSANDS on junk for CEO & Executives. Hope no one has to ever go through the daily torture I had to endure while working here.

Pros

Company has pulled together some good technologies into a cohesive portfolio.

Cons

Significant turn over of the engineering senior management and excessive political maneuvering has run off a huge chunk of the good talent that was brought in after the Raytheon acquisition and many of the legacy employees who were part of getting the company's products built. Company is on a path to consolidate R&D into fewer facilities so anyone not at the target locations should be looking for roles elsewhere. You won't get any warning when that time comes. Our staff in San Diego was decimated and along went a ton of historical knowledge so not sure how well they can support the deployed product these days. Culture has taken a dark turn.

Pros

Some really sharp and good people.

Cons

Weak blow hard CEO. Radical re-engineering of co structure and products that will take years...too long. Highly political and hypocritical culture facilitated by CEO, CFO, and CHRO.
