Pros

It was such a promising company. When I interviewed with them they said it was a chance to get in on the ground floor of a brand new technology.

Cons

Every time they got funding they spent the money as if it was water. Boom, they were broke again. VERY "Good Old Boy" management. If you are one of the Southwest Research clique you are all set. If not, they drive you out. No management training for Managers. They promote and assume you can manage as well as you Engineered, not the case. VERY inept middle managers.

Pros

We still have jobs. There is a lot going on but there always has been. Somehow it is always portrayed as the next big thing that is going to put us over the top.

Cons

The reality is that nothing has changed. We are having serious issues hiring capable Engineers because our reputation is not good. The players have not changed which leads to the continuation of friction between upper and lower levels of management. Every month brings panic as the next Board Meeting approaches. We are all looking for a more stable company, the ones who got laid off last April seem to all have landed in better companies. Who could have guessed they would be the lucky ones?

Pros

Long lunches; nice area. There is a nice park and gym close by.

Cons

Employees get away with harassment. It's a small, close knit group of male engineers. It basically consist of one chief engineer who does all the work as far as mechanical design work goes. Electrical/computer science/controls work is all done by one person as well. Senior management go to these two for everything. They only work under engineering agreements. So if there is not agreement with a company interested in the product, everyone has to act busy or get laid off.
