Pros

Some freedom to move between projects. Good coworkers, friendly atmosphere.

Cons

It used to be great. Since being bought by Elbit there has been one bad decision after another. Upper management makes huge decisions without consulting the lower levels and leaves the lower management to pick up the remaining pieces. Whole departments fired, then a mad scramble to try to get back the key personnel to keep projects running. Twice in four years! Upper management seem to surround themselves with yesmen and have no idea about the culture in each different division. So many people left after a disastrous move (where they completely ignored the feedback and then failed to implement more than the most basic parts of the new office plan) that everything ground to a near halt. A division of 120 employees is now down to 15 remote workers.

Pros

Knowledgeable and friendly coworkers. Some of the managers appreciate your contributions.

Cons

Upper management feels disconnected from the workers. Benefits eroding that enticed talent to stay. Hybrid schedule is dwindled down to 1 day in a 9/80 schedule. Health insurance was ok when they covered almost 60$ of it for healthy habits. HR seems to be not willing to help or aid when issues with benefits is pointed out, like insurance not paying for procedures. They will gladly tell you to call the affiliated company that negotiates the bills instead of having an internal person that can help you. Upper management can at times sound like they are not trusting the technical staffers to accomplish their jobs. Predominantly seems to be a cultural barrier due to its predominantly being dished out by a particular group of individuals. Literally heard multiple times a upper manager/chief/staff professional verbally belittle or beat down an fellow coworker. Carrier progression is very slow, the expectation is that you work at a higher level job description for 1 or more years before you get the pay and level promotion.
