Review from Engineering Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Promoting growth of employee, and compensating employee at the competitive rate when promoting from within.
Review from Engineering Dept
Making well informed decisions. Organizational skills lacking. Current leadership has no clue about embedded software and hardware development.
Review from Engineering Dept
Leadership is lacking. They tend to promote pure technical people instead of good leaders and managers. And, typically, pure technical experts are not great leaders. I would say that Boeing does a slightly better job at this, and even they are lacking in this category.
Review from Engineering Dept
The leadership is not in tune with the industry. They think they are competing with other contractors, but really it's the rest of tech ind.

Review from Engineering Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Too much variation, a lot of us are doing the same work and get paid vastly different.
Review from Engineering Dept
Long story short, when you get an increase that is claimed to be their fault, expect little to nothing the next yearly merit increase.
Review from Engineering Dept
Management team does not value individual employees. We feel more like numbers on a board than individuals. If the company had industry competitive salaries that would make me personally feel better about my compensation, as well as if promotions were base purely on performance.

Hard to say there is any magic bullet to solve the problem since most people there just do not care anymore. All they want to do is survive the next lay off wave or get the golden handshake and retire early.
Review from Engineering Dept
More focus on development and work life balance.
Review from Engineering Dept
Although NG claims they have a better culture than their competitors, I've worked at those competitors and they are fooling themselves. They are all the same company with different names. Due to the large amount of people migrating between companies. The "lifers" are drinking their own kool-aide.
