      Pros

      Many IRAD programs, many small diverse projects, benefits are good. If there is not work they put people on overhead for months. Free EV chargers. Company is willing to try anything to get their foot in the door on new business.

      Cons

      Rates are expensive, no long term project to plan multi years out, lay-off every two three years, pay raises less than 3% on avg for the last 6 years. Lots of turnover. 600 laid of in 2020, 160 laid off in 2021, 140 in 2022, at least that many leave for greener pastures. Lots of directors.

      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
