Business Outlook
Pros
Good pay, benefits, and work life balance. Never pressured into working more than 40 hours, very relaxed environment. If getting a security clearance is no issue for you, you’ll have good job security and can move within the defense industry pretty easily. Working at a big name defense company also looks great on a resume
Cons
Everything moves slowly and is 90% bureaucracy and process. Not a lot of exciting technical work to go around. Most engineers are placed on legacy programs to maintain 20+ year old hardware. Younger engineers that want to learn new skills and take on challenges will be bored and want to leave within a couple years. Great place to settle down later in your career and not have to do any real work
