Positive
Constructive
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Excitement about the work and working with the customer
Being contractors at a Lockheed facility, we tend to get put in the less than ideal office areas or cubicles and despite being seperated from those we work with, the culture is happy and positive.
They have a greate cafeteria.
Honest approach to problem solving, not as corporate considering the size of the company
Willingness to realise that we’re aren’t perfect in every way, but see past that and overcome the road bumps to get outcomes and meet the challenge because of our peo
Camaraderie, proactive and very professional
My manager and the positive attitude
There isn't a feeling of being micromanaged like other companies I have worked for. This has allowed me to maximize my productivity.
There is a worklife balance culture which I appreciate a lot since I can easily become a workaholic. My immediate supervisor is always preaching that work comes secondary to personal life.
The relaxed atmosphere and no pressure to rush or force results. The overall environment is comfortable and open, with workers and leadership being able to openly discuss inadequate resources and timing issues.
Getting to interact with ppl across multiple fields, the diversity is amazing!
The concern and care for the individual. We come together when one of us are hurting, or if a community is hurting, even if it is a different country where we have no employees.
Attitudes and sense of humor
Review from Product Dept
People were very interactive and open to being social.
It's a satisfying culture an enriching environment!!!
Atmosphere is almost like a family
close knit team that cares about each other
Review from Engineering Dept
People aren't too stressed or rushed
Review from Engineering Dept
It is a very supportive and well-informed environment to work in.
Review from Communications Dept
No pressure involved, not micro-managed. Complete trust in the teams ability.
Review from Operations Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
better quality manufacturing, and leadership too much time spent on resolving quality issues
Review from Operations Dept
Improving diversity among leadership roles will provide an overall better more inclusive work environment.
The company needs better leaders
Communication across the board. No one tells people when things change etc
Reduce workforce by 30%, implement performance management, have a bullying/grievences policy.
The engineering department needs to unionize
Needs more diversity, all leadership from the company and customer side are 95% white female. And there is one alpha female that everyone fears.
Get rid of the jerks and address the behavior of incompetent leadership
More work, hire people who actually know what they are doing
Get rid of the senior leadership and management that have a draconian view of a workplace. Managers that feel it's ok to force employees into social interaction that is beyond the scope of work or duty should stop especially when the employee says they feel uncomfortable with the insistance.
Review from Communications Dept
Get rid of the current executives and bring in fresh faces and ideas
Review from Operations Dept
Politics and favoritism runs rampant in the PBX area of the HAAP.
Review from Operations Dept
I work within a customer environment. The customer needs to realise that we are there to assist, not replace them.
Review from Engineering Dept
Co-workers are negative about management, pay scale, no bonuses.
Review from Engineering Dept
Not all the time but there are employees that act and smart off to others arrogantly
Review from Operations Dept
I think current management is trying to turn it around, but this is a very old, very entrenched company that moves like a defense contractor. Thant's rough on tech folk and murderous on consultancies.
Review from Product Dept
The company just doesn’t care about its workers, that puts a negative vibe on everything
Review from Operations Dept
Better wages and benefits for the people that have value added jobs! (The people doing the work)
Review from Operations Dept
Culture is horrible. No matter what you do it's never good enough. Safety is only when supervision (TL and above) what to use it against you and quality is not properly given its true respect
Review from Operations Dept
better insurance and union leadership
