Pros

Great coworkers. Management are very flexible and seem to care about employees. The work is really cool (who wouldn't want to build and launch a rocket?)

Cons

Management can't control schedules as thats outside of the contract scope. Other contractors supply the equipment we integrate and even NASA can't make them hold to the schedule.

Pros

Decent culture, individual contributors are fine, management is lacking

Cons

The company operates like many smaller companies depending on which business market you are in so your experience will vary. For some, it's the best company, others will say it's the worst; it just depends on your region/group even at the local level. Water/wastewater is a good market in most offices, transportation is hit an miss depending on location.
