Vantaggi

Less of a commute. They do have good lab space and equipment. Manufacturing can be cooperative once you let them know you aren't a "typical engineering a--hole".

Svantaggi

Office space is mostly cubes. , but they expect the engineers to be part of the setup. Engineers are treated like tools. Mid level management are just engineers who have done good engineering, but have little skill in management. The guy at the top has a tendency to yell when things aren't as he expects. This results in a lot of cowering managers below him. Tons of politics and back biting. Software (which includes FPGA design) department is always fighting with hardware engineering departments, the usual turf war stuff.

Vantaggi

*This only applies to the Montgomeryville location* None. Used to be a great place to work. I enjoyed the work I did and the various teams I worked with.

Svantaggi

*This only applies to the Montgomeryville location* -Health benefits have gotten worse each year. -Constant layoffs. -Changed from an 8 hour 3 shift day, 5 days a week to a 10 hour 2 shift day, 4 days out of the week. The idea was to save money on overtime, then they started asking the employees to stay the 4 hours between shifts. Then they started asking the employees to work the extra 3 days. Then they made the employees sign a waiver, making the 3 days mandatory when needed. -Flat raises, everyone gets the same raise. -Lower management no longer cares -Upper management is too focused on vanity projects or no longer cares
