Pros

Exciting and interesting Products. Involved in entire manufacturing process.

Cons

Employees are overworked. Overtime is expected of Salaried employees. There was a layoff one week, followed by an overtime request the following. The harder you work, the more they give you to complete. Management leads with fear and a loud voice (this did improve later on). The Business Development team underbids and overcommits on contracts. They have even been known to sell technology that has not been invented yet.

Bad Company - BEWARE

Pros

None, None, None, None, None.

Cons

This company sanctions bullying. I had to leave the company to get away from it. The senior management treats women differently from men. CEi uses employees and then terminates them. Their turnover rate is high in many departments, and employee satisfaction is very low. The employees do not trust management. The previous HR VP walked off the job due to the poor treatment of women.

Misguided Management

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
