Little to no opportunity for promotion as too many people are ahead of you and are going no where fast. Communication from top down can be non existent.

Workforce is very disconnected from management. The facilities are filthy. Inflexible and hard to stand out from the crowd.

There are a lot of areas that you can enhance your knowledge in which can help you in the future. Young engineers get exposed to as many things that they can handle inside the company.

Bust your butt, work out of town for months, be part of the design team of the only thing that sells there, but it doesn't matter. What matters is you're part of the good ole boy network. Hello Austin!

I was at BAE when it was Lockheed Sanders and let me tell you...it sucked...especially once they had their 1990 layoff. I was in Nashua and got bumped from engineering into production working in some room where they made nothing but transformers all day long. Not only did the pay sucked but the people there sucked as well. The group leader was a total arsehole and I hated every day of being there especially when the prevvious job was really good. Their benefits suck bad...needing 7 years before getting 3 weeks of vacation. Now they won't even off a pension anymore. I left there and never looked back and now they lay off long time employees in order to screw them out of retirement and they discriminate against older employees..Glad to be out of that rathole.
