Working at Innovative Solutions & Support in Exton, PA: 4 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Exton, PA Area

"I've worked with IS&S for just under a year. During that time I witnessed company practices which as a newcomer had worried me. In addition it always seems as though the upper management has issues communicating company goals and priorities down the chain of command to the lower end workers. In addition to this, they often require one to work an absurd amount of hours in a single week and it always felt like it was an issue attempting to get the proper hardware for testing purposes. The teams that I did work with directly however were very knowledgeable and skilled in their fields."

"I've worked for Innovative Solutions and Support since April 2013. Started out as a sr designer and worked my way up to lead designer to design supervisor."

"Great company to obtain experience. However, deadlines are crazy. Everything was due yesterday. Expect to work 50 hours weekly. Not enough equipment for both testers and developers causes issues when deadlines are close. Move up pretty fast if you know what you are doing and learn on the fly. Co-workers are awesome and friendly; everyone jokes around."
