      Pros

      If you live near clarksburg , then good location. Salary is average in industry ( could've been worse)

      Cons

      If you snooze you rule else you bounce from one project to another putting out fire. Basically these guys have a set of leads that do not really do any technical work and they load up on leads before actual resources who do the work. The result is good old inverse pyramid. HW portion has 3-4 leads with no one to lead. Sw portion has leads that are basically incompetent engineers but very good in schmoozing. Now this probably happens in most companies but when you have 4 layoffs in 5 years, things got to change, at least a sane management would realize this. It would be interesting to see how long this "culture" will go on.

      Pros

      *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.

      Cons

      *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
