"small business owned/managed by engineers"
What do you like about working at Lite Machines?
"The writing and program management work was very interesting: in the field of defense robotics. It was cutting edge work done by very capable engineers. I also expanded into writing lobbying briefs on defense robotics for congress and spent a number of years lobbying on Capitol Hill, which was quite fasinating and enjoyable."
Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"You need to walk in the door ready to conform. This firm has very mature and meticulous methods defined for every last process and activity within the business. These methods will never be changed or abandoned, so candidates would do well to minimize the extent to which they profess to have lots of new ideas on how to do things, and instead, probe and listen to the experts/owners of the firm outline their tried and true methods. A candidate that absorbs and embraces the established methods has higher odds of being a cultural fit."
What don't you like about working at Lite Machines?
"There is a lack of growth potential, and no health benefits."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"No real suggestions: they seem to be doing exactly the type of work that they want to be doing, for which they are perfectly suited. It's just not a good fit for me anymore: I'm not the typical engineering type that can be happy going to a dark lab every day until I retire. However, this type of work setting is appealing to some!"
