Lack of strong management, no trust in employees, poor business decisions, always running behind the 8 ball - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Composite Engineering Inc

Great atmosphere working with creative Engineer's to explore the endless possibilities of drones. Working with the DoD to manage military contracts was a great experience.

Losing funding and having a mass reduction in workforce.

They make interesting niche products. They know how to manufacture with composites. Manufacturing is their strength. Being such a small company allows one to see many areas and move around to different fields. Every part of the company is close together.

This small company is trying to play in a big company arena as a DOD contractor but is failing in many regards. Much of this can be traced back to its top-down dictatorial management style. Employees and employee input are not valued. They are willing to throw one of their own under the bus to get out of a tight spot. This leads to very low moral and high turn-over. I have watched some of the finest engineering talent walk out the door. Partial successes are over-sold. This comes back to bite the company over and over when it is time to perform. Very telling is the internal motto amongst employees: "Over-commit and Under-perform". The company has not learned how to apply sound engineering principles and to plan programs realistically.
