Awful place to work
Awful place to work
Healthcare. Pension (being frozen this year).
Pay if you are low or average talent. But if you are top talent, your pay will be way lower than what you could get with a company that actually values brainpower.
Just a completely miserable, toxic, caustic place to work. I mean, really.
Most of the managers are completely clueless. Left and right, the people you imagine to be the dumbest you’ve ever met get promoted and advance, while people you thought were intellectuals get screwed.
HR is absent. The company encourages people to bring forward concerns, but it’s all a big trap to get you to give them information to protect the company. If you get screwed in the process, they leave you out to dry.
The company's safety and “culture” initiatives feel like something created for elementary school students, not for working professionals. All the communication is super vanilla and politically correct and, at its core, is all about an unwavering servitude to Wall Street.
The company is making money hand over fist yet cutting employee benefits in the name of “competitiveness.” The company very openly went to battle with its machinist union in 2013 and made no qualms about their contempt of organized labor.
The work is uninspiring and, for most functions, it seems, very trivial and mirroring what you may remember from high school as “busy work.” Honestly, I’m often surprised the company is even profitable (given the systematic dysfunction).
In short, this place really seems to appeal to people who are okay being average or below average and who gladly sacrifice on morality and their conscience for job security and pats on the head from their management team for not rocking the boat.
I have now come to understand why this company has such a bad reputation among my most intelligent friends.
Our interns tend to start off the summers happy and excited. The most discerning of them quickly realize that the images of a cutting-edge, innovative company they once were exposed to were a marketing gimmick by a company that, at best, moves at a snail's pace and can’t seem to execute on a single development program without multi-year schedule delays and billions in cost overruns.
