Vantaggi
Company is growing and recovering from prior management missteps. The old contracts were jettisoned long ago and a new, products focused business model adopted. The Company has turned a profit over the last two years and backlog is strong. Future product growth is appears strong. ISL is a science company focused now on solving real-world problems by building products rather than merely performing R&D. It's an exciting and dynamic place to work where the people are friendly and collegial. Policies allow employees to adjust work schedules to meet family obligations so you can work evenings and weekends in place of straight 9 to 5 during the week. The flexibility is very handy. Benefits are great with a 401(k), ESOP (where the company provides a contribution of company stock to a retirement account without cost to the employee; this is a deferred compensation plan), and Blue Cross/Blue Shield. Pay is very competitive because most employees have advanced degrees and demand for their skills is high. Management encourages employees to attend professional meetings and to publish. Many leaders in the nuclear and electrical engineering/RF community ae ISL employees, and the company is at the forefront of cutting edge developments in NSSS and RF systems. It's an exciting time in the Company's history.
Svantaggi
Growth means there is always plenty of work to perform and, until we find the right talent, we will all be very busy.
