Pros

- Good work/life balance.

Cons

- Dont expect to change any of the culture. Will try to promote newer tech but can never get it pushed through - No telecommuting. - Plant is ancient and has not been renewed. - Difficult to get pay raises for hard work. - Treated like another number. - Parking is horrible and will take you an hour to get to your desk.

Pros

I had a positive experience working here. RMS has the most interesting work of the four companies. If you're willing to move, you could feasibly work most anywhere in the US or abroad. Great opportunities for networking with other engineers via social or volunteer activities. Very inclusive workplace.

Cons

Typical mega-corporation pitfalls. We lost unlimited sick leave this year which made life VERY stressful for working parents and people just show up to work sick or still contagious. Defense work comes and goes so there's a lot of churn and uncertainty.

Pros

Most programs are low stress and can actually work a 40 hour work week. Other programs are in constant fighting fire mode.

Cons

For software, do not expect to use the latest technology to help the customer. You can expect to be literally at least15 years behind the current technology trends. Example right now, containers and vms are not widely used. Do not expect agile development in most cases, mosts contracts are still waterfall. No matter what they say, it's still waterfall execution from contract and upper management. Due to security concerns, most libraries and software languages are restricted to older versions or just not used at all.
