Pros

The best benefits I have ever had in my career. 2 to 1 retirement match and great Vacation and time off plans. Ability to work within a company that is doing some of the most cutting edge work in the country.

Cons

Sometimes Programs and Engineering are not on the same page, however for the most part they do a great job with the amount of growth we have experienced over the last 4 years

Overall solid place to work, but not as youthful as you would hope

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay is competitive. I was a 6 month coop with only a few years of college under my belt but still made $22/hour. Funding is good for programs, especially those in Defense. Work environment in the summer is loose - can take fridays off / half day with enough hours mon - thur

Cons

Slow moving industry due to bureaucracy, but since the funding is there through military contracting it can help speed up the process. Feels very old school there, everything is done by the books. Means there is a lot of experience and knowledge to gain but pushing innovation is difficult
