This may explain why - posted on Glass Door reviews;

"Extremely understaffed and underfunded. Although the business unit is one that is growing and still very profitable, it doesn't matter when it comes to funding and staffing. Was running too lean to begin with and now cut beyond muscle and bone. Engineering management unwilling to push back on requests due to lack of resources. Instead, they email you that task and then blame you for not getting it done. Regardless that they just handed you 60 hours worth of work on top of the 160 hours you've already been assigned. They moved beyond "this is your number one priority." How? By coming up with your "number zero priority." Working 10+ hour days doesn't help. They just continue to load you up. Quality product is not a priority. Cost and Schedule, on the other hand, are. When quality is sacrificed and fails at the customer, business managers turn around and blame engineering, whose managers then blame the engineer. Despite, the fact, that the managers demanded a band-aid/shortcut to make the delivery. They, of course, needed to make their bonus. There is no program management. Now, they have "program managers." But, really, they act more as schedulers than anything else. They fall under the engineering manager and have no authority. There is absolutely no "matrix" organization, like they claim. (Another point I asked before accepting the job offer.). Engineering test equipment is non-existent. Especially, for electronics. What they do have are the basics that you would find in any electronics hobby room. In fact, one engineer brings in his own stuff sometimes just to perform tests that need to be done. Good luck trying to get 0.003% of annual revenue for general test equipment. Well, at least you can get some professional development, right? Well no. First, you are so understaffed and projects are so late (because managers only say "yes" to any project) that they really don't want you to go to any classes (They will always be able to go to theirs, of course, because they just delegate their responsibilities then.). Second, travel restrictions means that the classes will have to be local. If nothing else fails, they just wait to approve the class only after it is full and you have no chance to get in. And this is doesn't include the daily "you've got to be kidding me" shake your head decisions being made."
