Pros

Very good salary and benefits. The culture is laid back and everyone is friendly here. I have worked in other companies that stress schedule and overtime to the exclusion of family life. This company is not one of them - at least not what I have seen so far. The vast majority of the people I work with work 40 hour work weeks and are not "nose to the grindstone." My management - even the vice president - is actively involved on my program and very cordial with me. My co-workers are very team oriented and work together to solve very difficult issues.

Cons

Not very software oriented since it is an engineering firm. Despite the team oriented atmosphere, I often feel like I am working in a vacuum with few people that understand the difficult problems to solve.

Has numerous promotion capabilities based on the contract you are under

Cons

Most positions are contract related. Potential for transfer is high if contract does not get renegotiated.

Pros

There are great people to work with. There are some really smart dedicated folks building our systems. The satellites have interesting problems to solve and require cutting edge engineering to make them work right. Working on the satellites you can make a real contribution to science and you can see that contribution in the news on a regular basis.

Cons

The company is facing challenging business prospects. New system starts are irregular and I'm not sure when the next systems will start. Our local business is different from the rest of the company and national leadership doesn't always understand the differences
