Pros

Interesting projects and flexible work hours.

Cons

Long product cycles. Employees often don't see a project to delivery before being reassigned. It is very rare an employee can actually participate the the refinement of a product leveraging lessons learned in the previous iteration. As a defense contractor with spending on such projects to likely become less and less and the coming years, opportunities for growth are dwindling.

Pros

Good work culture. Great people. Good opportunities to advance if you are ambitious and willing to work hard. Reasonable salaries.

Cons

Current market has been tough for this Company. Has severely cut staff in order to cope. Cutting in the wrong areas with several union employees who don't contribute much remaining while the Company loses good people.

Pros

If you don’t have much talent or even knowledge of you specialist area this is a place you can be part of a head count. It pays well but benefits are salary scarified so it might turn out that it does not pay as well as you agreed to also not that relocation has habit of being reduced back after 6months. You will not be work too hard, unless you are actually useful. You can go to coffee when ever you want, in-fact it is encourage. You can get a long easily by just being nice and that will be enough to keep your job as you will not be a threat to other that wish to move on up. Remember there are some excellent staff there too, but they are out numbered

Cons

Do not rely on honesty or integrity, senor management scarified that years ago to get where they are. All that maters is the EBIT figure to retain there position. Other lower down the chain are frightened to stick the head out even when they see wrong been done. Some of your pears will be virtually unemployable anywhere else particularly in administration, HR, quality. If you want to do interesting work and work hard then you will be the one working weekend and into the night as its not there culture to break a sweat. However when it come to crunch time they will kick and scream like 2 children.
