Pros

I have worked with the company in software engineering roles in one location in the midwest. I have had a good work-life balance and normal 40-hrs-a-week working hours. Company has several office locations around the world although they serve different markets and problems spaces. Benefits are reasonable. Interesting technologies and products are being developed. Company sponsors work permits and Green Card for foreign nationals.

Cons

Can be slow to adopt best practices and change. Continuous improvement can get much better. Several locations have physically poor office facilities lacking windows and sunlight, suboptimal indoor temperature and air quality. Several projects and office locations/areas are restricted and can be accessed by US citizens and permanent residents only. Foreign nationals can feel not included and treated lower in multiple instances. Pay can be better.

Pros

Regular yearly merit raises from 3-4%. Out of cycle promotions common if you demonstrate positive performance under higher than typical workloads or time constraints. Value your experience with standard company software, technology, and processes. Great place to start within the defense industry. The emphasize passing down the knowledge of experienced engineers to the younger employees.

Cons

Training can be lacking if more seasoned employees do not have the bandwidth. Deadlines can either be hard to meet on short notice or not given a hard-set deadline at all. Learning curve can take sometimes before real contributions can be made to some projects.
