Pros

9/80 schedule; love the off-Fridays. Very smart engineers with great minds.

Cons

Pay is not good. Little chance of getting promoted. Software developers get the short end of the stick when it comes to cost and schedule. Competence of software management from top down is concerning and unstable. Metrics are used against software engineers instead of being use to better manage projects. A lot of micro-managing. Lack of respect for employee personal life: Managers command engineers provide personal cell phone numbers so managers can call whenever they felt the need to ask questions or for the engineer to come in on weekends. GDLS cut funding for the Diversity and Inclusion Council. No annual bonuses for the everyday foot solder engineer, except for a $25 gift check for a Thanksgiving Butterball purchase. =/ A lot of lay-offs recently. No cultivation of young employees. Low rating of employee happiness.

Pros

Work- Light workload, little overtime and comp time if worked, 9/80 and flexible work schedule is great for working moms, job rotation for high potentials, gppd merits for top performers, little interference from immediate supervisor Social- Fitness center, golf outings, ladies nights, Christmas parties

Cons

Benefits package gets worse every year. Upper management too focused on details, not the big picture, not forward-looking, won't change to new ways of thinking. Outdated technology causes delays. Older employees (50 and up) are in management positions they are not qualified for, can't change to new ways of doing things, are jealous of younger employees and overly critical of them. Few opportunities for advancement to management levels for younger, dynamic top performers.
