Pros

Good overall compensation package, with strong industry leading salaries, pension and sharesave schemes. Modern buildings with reasonable facilities and the benefit of working for a big name in the defence arena.

Cons

Too much Gov't lobbying - not enough real world solutions. There was a lack of leadership, direction and focus with an innate ability to turn good profitable business into inefficient, uncompetitive and isolated units. Strategic decisions were made very slowly and were often poor. A series of redundancies left the organisation without the requisite skills base to function effectively and morale was very poor for several years. Hopefully the situation has now improved.

Pros

Good work life balance Projects matter for our war fighters Most co-workers are competent and dedicated More work than people, and moving to other engineering jobs is possible

Cons

Some numbskulls seem to get into senior positions. A "Consolidation" of buildings is underfunded, poorly planned, and drives chaos. The push to squeeze every nickel of efficiency means that there isn't always money for equipment or team building events (below the VP level).
