Pros

Salary rate is better than east and west coasts for the same position. Comparable benefit package. Enjoyed 9/80 bi-weekly hours. Excellent workout facilities. Family members are welcome to join the gym.

Cons

It is a matrix management organization divided to functional and program organizations. However, functional division causes departments to become short-sighted and provincial, leading to incompatible work styles and poor communication. There is little communication between functional and program orgganizations. IF you are brought in to work with functional organization, you will be surprised in having difficulty to fined a long term assignment within the programs. There is always a fear of being laid off if you are not part of a program org. Functional managers have difficulty to keep their employee employed. The company is moving away from engineering inovation and diversification. The bulk of business is reduced to product maintenance and depot. There is little room for new design and development. Performance evaluations are full of harsh criticism. It is not a positive environment to work and build your career.

Pros

- benefits - pay is decent (including bonus) - work and life balance is great here - managers are more than willing to work with you - ability to travel

Cons

- The location is horrible, making for a terrible commute (unless you live right in Marlborough) - Promotions are generally given every 2 years; working harder than others doesn't guarantee a promotion - work is not exciting - management (especially in Marlborough), isn't competent.

Pros

great people. there are some very smart and talented junior engineers, although the only thing that keeps them is a tight job market. great pay and benefits. fantastic work schedule. laxed dress code if you just show up and get easy work done, turn your brain off, you can make a great living for 40 years..

Cons

way too many processes and procedures...the processes are so complex even the managers or people enforcing the processes do not understand them. it takes about six months to make any sort of technical change...working relationship between groups (sotware, systems, mechanical, etc) is pathetic at best. managers look out for their own interests. i am former military and this is by far the worst management ive ever seen as a whole (and ive seen leaders get people killed in combat) . managers are passive agressive, engineering types who dont really know what they are doing, but expect their junior engineers to just magically figure it out. most people, even those with the company for 20 years have NO CLUE on what they are doing. this makes work very frustrating. also, the senior engineers at the company are typically VERY arrogant. they are very unwilling to share information and spend most of their time trying to make it look like they know everything. if i worked on the same project for 20 years if hope to know a lot about it too.... also, the promotion potential pretty much sucks...managers charged with evaluating their employees performance have no idea what they work on or in some cases who they are...those managers mostly look out for their own best interests..
