Profits were reasonable and it was an innovative place to work -- I learned much in a short time, being fresh out of college.  However, the new measuring stick is "killer profits" or else it is a waste of time.  I left the company after my boss took credit for a couple patent ideas that were mine.  I transferred out of AIEG to the cellular sector, and was laid-off within 6-months, major "suckage".  I was much happier at AIEG, the small-fish so to speak.  I really liked working in Seguin, but not so much Chicago.  It is to bad engineering is losing its fun and innovation in favor of some stupid, blind bottom line.  AIEG was a good place to work.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Andrew Perkins]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 22nd 2007 4:44PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
