Pros

• 13.5% super (excellent as a millennial that is keen to see that balance get bigger, faster) • 6 weeks leave (hell yeah!) • Friendly culture (the complete opposite of "cut throat" culture in corporate life and other defence orgs. People are very genuinely nice and good to work with which makes coming in every day pretty easy.) • Company is interested in facilitating good working relationships amongst colleagues (social club is active and comes up with good outings, plus they throw a decent free BBQ lunch once a month onsite) • Growing and trying to refresh outdated leaders, systems and processes • Bulk-billing visiting GP (Once a month a doctor comes onsite and you can make private appointment at no cost) • Visiting mobile masseuse (Company subsidises short 15min sessions)

Cons

• Growing pains (systems and processes are time consuming to use. Trying to fix but painfully slow) • People fixated on enforcing protocols without being to fully understand the "why" (Some departments are full of people policing outdated processes and protocols without fully being able to explain why and will not let you deviate from them)

Pros

Great benefits, plenty of personal/vacation time, personable enough to get to know many people and job security.

Cons

New employee training is non-existent. Growing so fast this can create a potential issue. Structure is needed as well. They have recently recognized this and working hard to change that.

Pros

- Meaningful work supporting U.S. national security priorities - Talented and committed colleagues across functions - Strong global brand with respected products and capabilities

Cons

- After raising internal policy compliance questions, I experienced increased manager hostility, micromanagement, and questions about my dedication from a member of the U.S. Saab, Inc. C-Suite. - Despite good-faith efforts to improve the dynamic, the environment became tense enough that I felt hesitant to, for example, fully use approved leave or personal time, or raise concerns internally for fear of manager retaliation. - Despite directly informing the U.S. Saab, Inc. CEO of the problem, and receiving assurances that my work and effort were exactly what they needed to be (as evidenced by my positive internal reviews), the increasingly hostile manager interactions continued. - Strong disapproval of the U.S. Saab, Inc. CEO and the culture that is encouraged in the U.S. C-Suite
