Pros

Nothing spectacular about this company. Very similar to other defense contractors. Employee experience can vary widely. A decent choice if you want to work and live in Melbourne/Palm Bay. My experience: -Decent amount of tools and system test infrastructure available -Little to no overtime (project dependent) -Plenty of decent and intelligent people

Cons

This company also shares common complaints among other defense contractors. This company exists to generate value for shareholders and they don't try to hard to cover it up. I don't plan to stay here long term. - Assigned project and work location after starting was different than the interview. - Speed is absolute priority above all else - Program schedules can have resolution down to the hour and frequently change priorities - Accepted job with hybrid schedule but now forced 100% onsite - Little/no ability for career growth

Pros

There are plenty of great coworkers.

Cons

The management is atrocious across the board, and only gets worse the further up you go. There are a few great managers/supervisors, but they're few and far between. If you're part of a branch that is unionized, your progression is limited based on the current contract. If you're in a branch that isn't, your progression is limited by the whims of those above you - regardless of how well that you perform. In the union branches, management's dumb decisions can be tempered by the union getting involved. In the non-union branches, they can (and will) force you to work overtime even if there is no justification or work available at times. They can (and will) refuse PTO even if its approved months in advance. They can (and will) go on power trips, ruin morale, and run programs into the ground.
