Teledyne FLIR

Teledyne FLIR Detection is a conundrum. On one-hand almost everyone at the site level gets along and trusts each other. The work is interesting, and the products are facinating. Manufacturing, Engineering, Quality, and Development are usually aligned in focus, and drive. On the other hand its superfluous. Upper management has squeezed hiring and pay so hard that no one can get anything done. Hiring is funneled through a laughable (and rediculous) process that has sites competing for scraps to try and stay on top of their workload. Meanwhile promotions are often berefit of any compensation but do require taking up all the work of your co-workers who fled these conditions.

We love our jobs, we just wish we had the resources to do them.

I found the training program at this company/site to be extremely lacking. The training was subpar, with minimal guidance and outdated materials. The trainer often made dismissive comments and even spoke negatively about team members behind their backs. Questions were met with judging looks, as if curiosity was unwelcome. If you depend on a supportive training environment and expect to be equipped with the necessary tools for success, be prepared for disappointment. I hope management takes steps to improve this critical aspect of the workplace.

I can only speak to the huntsville location. It's really not a bad job, but there is favoritism here. They will get what they can out of you.They have some long term employees that make about the same money as people they bring in the door. They do respect ability but they might not always reward it. Who you have a relationship with matters much more than your abilities, as far as advancement and pay. Get whatever you can when you get hired because the way they divide the money up at raise time means only a few people get meaningful raises, most people are from 1 to 2%. My personal raises have never covered the cost of living or insurance increases.

I work in hunt valley MD for 3 moths and I quiet. I don't recommend this job . This company is really bad , the managers don't know what there doing and there like to pretend there know what there doing . The equipment is very, very old and no one have manual o diagram for fixing or PM the equipment.  The build is follow apart and there don't care . I never see trash engineering like I see in this company they are the worst,  OMG I don't how the reiceve the diploma for be a engineering , I guess in ebay . But I don't recommend this place is really bad.

Great employees to work with.  A little stressful at times when Corporate gets concerned about quarterly results...get-er-done before end of quarter :)  Lot of interdepartmental cooperation (engineering, mfg, ...).  Local management is competent, knows how things work, how to get the engineers what they need.  Corporate seems a bit too concerned about Vision/Values.....engineers live in the real world (projects, timelines, science...).  Overall I'd highly recommend this place if you are looking for interesting work in electronics, chemistry, science...

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people, flixi time, team building. All 3, couldn't choose just 1 thing.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
When there is a work slow down. Sometimes hard to find enough to do.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Amazing group of people, wonderful place to work.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Checking what is needed to fill orders, prioritize which units to test first. Checking for customer repair orders. Spend your day testing products.

- work day is good
-I have learned that management is not to be trusted 
-management does understand the hiring process they hire a lot of friends and family and most of the people they hiring can not do the job also they lack the Communication skills 
Management/HR If you are not in the same click with management and HR you will not grow in the company they pick and choose from their click. NOT EVEN A GOOD PLACE TO WORK 
-the culture is good
- job is not hard
- co workers 


Year over year the benefits seem to get worse. If you want a job with no movement up this is the place. Hours are flexible and direct management is friendly. Goodluck getting any kind of pay increase aside from the regular 2%. The product is great. The company is a good place to start right out of school, but I wouldn't recommend staying very long as the compensation is not good long ter.

Cool technology but old designs. No investment in new products. Business is in a slump since buyout. No direction or positive outlook from Teledyne. Lots of talented employees are resigning. Everyone else is looking.
