Pros

Benefits and opportunities to move between organizations. Lots of diversity. Can find great mentors in almost every group to learn tricks of trade.

Cons

0utdated salary ranges and/or annual increase for the cost of living in the area after initial hire. Compressed salaries leads to talent loss/high attrition rates. Aeronautical Systems Affiliate: Work from home isn't encouraged so other compensation needs to be provided. Lags in process streamlining which can make a usual simple task drawn out and cumbersome. Work life balance is encouraged but seems to be an abstract idea vs putting into practice in some groups.

Pros

Good working environment Exciting projects Great coworkers (for the most part, like any place)

Cons

Like any maturing company, it has become more and more top-heavy, placing more and more emphasis on project management and milestones, sometimes over bread-and-butter engineering. I could have half the PMs I have now and do a better job
