QinetiQ Employer Reviews

Very well organized and communication is great. Environment was also very relaxed.

My overall experience at the Kennedy Space Center (contracted under Qinetiq) working in the media department for NASA Public Affairs, was a wonderful experience for several reasons. I had the opportunity to work with a talented production team and I got to be a part of history by supporting the shuttle program in its final days. A typical day at work – more... could include the following but not restricted to; editing projects under the direction of producers, driving out to any given location to shoot video at a moment’s notice, preparing lower thirds on the Chyron graphics generator, setting up for live shows, and composing quality still photography for the Kennedy Space Center’s webpage. In this type of environment I was able to further hone in on my editing skills but also become well rounded in the production world.
As a participating member of a group of varying talents and personalities, my co-workers new when to have fun and brought a unique comradery to the studio. They always exhibited the utmost professionalism and always managed to be entertaining in the process. Through years of working together many of us became tight knit and efficient, but this didn’t exclude us from our fair share of challenges. As is for most jobs, differences in opinions, beliefs, and ideals can sometimes be quite challenging. Overtime and lack of sleep accompanied with Florida mosquitoes and stress, sometimes meant no one was happy.
The most enjoyable part of my employment, aside from the incredible people, at the Kennedy Space Center was the opportunity to be creative through the editing process. I particularly enjoyed the amount of footage and resources that was available to me for use, and the collaboration of media that existed between the different space center locations. Another honorable mention would be traveling to California where our team would prepare and cover the live launch shows and experience something out of the, “ already fascinating,” ordinary. My time at the Kennedy Space center was invaluable to me and I will take those experiences and memories with me where ever I go. – less

I enjoyed the management support and the clients I got to engage with on a daily basis.

All companies have their pros and cons. At this phase in my life the pros / cons balance provided by this company has been ideal for my schedule and needs. That said, the company has a hard time with setting, maintaining and following through with quality standards and seems to have a little trouble "keeping it together".

Was the best job I have ever had. Management was great, the employees were great.

The first 6 years i worked for 3H Technologies and the company achieved tremendous goals such as ISO Certification in which I was a Lead Auditor. As well we achieved a CMMI acreditation. 3H Technologies was a very well balanced and efficient company. It was then bought by QinetiQ NA. The transistion was not well planned. New Management from QinetiQ – more... had a difficult time associating with current management. raises were not based on performance or effort. They offered very little which destroyed company moral. – less

Excellent place to work. Company is focused on providing great services at an affordable price. Company was able to provide an overall above average benefits package.

Nice place to work with a great bunch of people. Did not like the way management lied to us about our release.

Great job with great benefits. Some people tend to be drama queens but that is everywhere. If you like travel, this is a great job for that too.

I'm one of the employees that will be losing my job due to the consolidation of efforts to Virginia so Job Security is nonexistent, unless you are in Virginia. I can tell you that this use to be a fantastic place to work now that our upper management is located on the East coast - the mentality seems to be that work comes first and foremost.

a typical day at work for me is managing and processing candidates for overseas deployment.

A relaxed fun enviroment with supportive managers, friendly co-workers.

Good work environment and even better people. Management is very flexible and allows me to balance my work and personal schedule.

The project I work on, we get treated like robots and only certain people obtain training to advance their careers. The company would rather lay you off, than find you a position in the company. Leadership is very micro management oriented. We even get emails on how to act when customers come. Health benefits are not in line with others companies in – more... area.

Only positive is that they offer a very flexible work schedule. – less

Great place to work and opportunities for professional growth.

The company is presently struggling. Has a very good workforce. Better leadership is needed to improve things.

Pay was too low for the responsibilities that I had. Got to learn and use IBM/Rational Systems Architect for high level systems design.

QinetiQ North America, a contract company for the U. S. Army is a great company to work for and has great benefits however after over 6 years in Southwest Asia, I am looking for an employment opportunity closer to home. I currently work 12 hours per day 6 days per week and am ready for some normal 40 hour weeks with some weekends at home.

Management/Team Leads need to be change. There are individuals that are in the position of leadership that are very lacking in people skills/leadership (do not have the right to talk and speak rudely to your personnel because you are in a leadership position). They may know their job in the area of acquistion and logistic, but when it comes to managing – more... personnel, they are very lacking.
Once you have been exposed as not being a truthful person, it is hard to maintain the trust of the people that are under your leadership. – less
