Pros

Decent benefits, good stock plan, decent people on the working floors

Cons

Over the last ten years Senior Management has been treating the Customer as their personal piggy bank, running up the billed hours in order to make sales quotas and executive bonuses (and the Customer knows it). Management has invested little to nothing in actual product development (has not developed any tech demonstration platforms in 10+ years), and refuses to train employees in anything (except mandatory security refreshers). The VP of Engineering has been physically escorted off The Customer's premises on at least two occasions. After two consecutive multi-billion dollar flops, The Customer has recently informed the rest of the world that they don't need and don't want the product anymore. Division recently laid off ~200 people, cuts are expected to reach at least 1000 employees before year's end. In short, the division is going out of business, and Management is still trying to pretend that nothing is wrong.

Pros

Job stability, good operational profit margin, decent benefits and 9/80 schedule to top it off

Cons

Management. Factory in garland is run by a person with an operator mindset. No mission, no strategy, no recognition but a savior for any hourly employee who spent a tenure regardless of the impact. Only reason this factory and similar factories within OTS still functional is because of US Govt and there is a natural barrier for substitution & hence forth no competition
