Pros

The people are like family. You will have some harder projects (as will happen with MIL-STD work) but the people will stick by you and get you all through it. If you're disciplined and have a solid work ethic - the world is your oyster. Slightly above average will make you stand out.

Cons

You have to fight for your salary increases, you'll be asked to increase responsibility without compensation and feel as though it's expected to just take it. Lots of hurry up and fix x, y, z. The culture used to be rather frustrating - and to a degree it still is but the improvements have been in place for a few years now with hopeful growth to continue.

Pros

The only Pro with this company was having every other Friday off.

Cons

Poor leadership and management culture. In my experience, management positions are often filled from a small, long-tenured group, resulting in limited diversity of thought and few opportunities for outside perspectives. Many leaders lacked the skills needed to effectively develop, mentor, and support their teams. Rather than addressing organizational issues, accountability often seemed to flow downward, with lower-level employees bearing the consequences of management decisions. I also observed talented Program Managers leaving or being terminated under circumstances that suggested they were being held responsible for broader organizational problems rather than receiving appropriate leadership support. Overall, the culture discouraged transparency, accountability, and professional growth.
