Vantaggi
The pros? Well, I did make some very good friendships here with a bunch of the employees. I will keep those friendships.
Svantaggi
Where can I start? First, can we find someone in management that has a clue? OK, one of the higher managers said that so what, we can send out a part with 300 defects. They customer knows sometime in the future we will fix them. Nice. On top of that, no way to advance, and all the younger kids out of college who have NO CLUE are put in lead positions. Why? Cause they are CHEAP. It's really a place you will not believe. They just went and in a cowardly manner laid off 70+ employees, and aren't done. The senior leadership, aka, Zelazo, Russek, and co, saying our money is good, we will get some new contracts, blah blah blah. Nothing. Software people twiddling their thumbs at their desks. So then what? Huge layoff with no warning, and NO SEVERENCE. Talk about being scumbags. The product we are giving Airbus is a piece of garbage, and management goes around like uhhh, uhhh, well, we are working with our customer. If I were Airbus, I'd fire us now. Get a real company to make this communications product. I mean, please, the benefits suck, the 401K sucks, and the raises suck. Why did I work here? Cause I thought the place was a steady income. It is a breeze to do your job here, and reviews are a cakewalk, but after all these people got laid off, well, hey, now it really really sucks. Morale is in the toilet, and many employees there have taken up smoking. I think that Astro should be blamed for new cases of lung cancer. Or alcohol abuse. They definitely need a stronger mental health policy. But then, why when the lunatics run the asylum???
