Change of Path = Brighter Future: opiniones de empleados con el puesto de Dir. Program Management en Engineering and Computer Simulations

Great opportunity for people new to the industry who are looking for exposure to a variety of technologies and a chance to have direct impact on the end-product.

Work is captured primarily through government contracts.

My time at ECS was great until the last 18 months—I was there nearly nine years. During that time, I grew my career and earned a seat at the table. I worked for and with some of the finest people doing interesting work. I was well compensated, and management made it clear that I was valued.

ECS's business lives and dies with government contracts. You should be prepared for rapid business expansion and contraction—it's the nature of the industry. Management lost its sense of direction around 2022. The business strategies changed, and that elusive thing that made it a great workplace was lost. The transition was painful. I wish I had left sooner, on a high note. - Communication is poor and uneven. For example, I was moved under a different manager without being told. I had to puzzle it out for myself. - Benefits aren't great. For example, it takes too many years to be elevated to the next level of PTO, and insurance is expensive. - Veterans are preferred.
