Pros

- This company is one of the most innovative and leads the world in defense weaponry and aerospace engineering. - Most promote the core values of strong leadership, respect for one another, and strong direction. - You will get as much responsibility as you are willing to take on.

Cons

- Some employees want to be impossible and will make your life impossible simply because they are miserable and unfortunately they are in a position to do so. - Not a strong work/life balance, finding myself working 70 to 80 hours per week. - This company will never admit that a schedule or budget is not possible so the work atmosphere tends to be high stress, with management always believing specific tasks and budgets are feasible when from the get go they were clearly not. - Non-technical management makes the Master Schedule and provides the budgets with usually very little engineering input which makes for way over-blown budgets and missed milestones.

Pros

Pride in supporting the defense of the USA. Great female leader in Marilyn Hewson. She genuinely cares about employees and is very "real".

Cons

The company has seen record profits but is continually downsizing. There is a spirit of fear among the employees.

Pros

The company has high integrity. The people are what make the job great. Front line managers make or break the job.

Cons

Work/life balance was off kilter. Company promoted work/life balance and then quietly back away from that jargon. Morale suffers when we can't spend time with our families and remember why we are working.
