Pros

It's a company with a great reputation in the defense/aerospace industry, and a long history of innovation and invention. The pay and benefits are centerline, but management does have ability to reward performers with incentive payments, raises (past 3 years raises total 30% of salary 3 years ago) and other awards.

Cons

Long hours, the "get it done mentality" and the "we will deliver" mantra, no matter what the costs or problems.

Pros

Good leadership development program, if you can get in. Performance reviews are structured and timely. Lots of opportunities to move to other positions in the company for career development.

Cons

It helps to be well-connected to get ahead, and definitely a must when your contract ends, if you want to stay in the company. At contract end, most employees are on their own to find other work with little or no help from management or HR. Internal hiring process is broken - you rarely hear back from bids on requisitions, which are usually wired for someone else or out of date. So it's easier to find work outside the company. No reimbursements for parking, transportation or professional memberships.
