Business Outlook

Pros

I've worked from home for the past 10+ years. We do some cool things that help protect America and her allies.

Cons

Management turnover due to job rotations create a ton of re-work for the program managers who have to continuously sell their programs to the "manager de jour". Also, if you're not a graduate of their coveted Information Systems Leadership Development Program (ISLDP), your name will never be discussed for manager positions if you're in IT and work for their corporate division. For new hires, make sure you ask about this. You'll be glad you did, even if you don't want to be a manager one day.

Good Company for new hires, very slow advancement opportunities.

Business Outlook

Pros

Stable company even though continued budget cuts. If contracts are cut and work is slow, they will try to place you in a temporary position or relocate you to another division as opposed to firing you. There are many challenging opportunities and opportunities to travel both domestic and internationally (depending on which program you work for). The people take great pride in their work.

Cons

At Aeronautics in Marietta, if you are not production, it is hard to advance. You basically have to move a mountain or get connected with the right person. Hard to move around in the same location. If you want to switch positions, you basically have to move to a different business unit. Pay is ok but raises are not as good as other organizations. Management tends to loose focus as they climb the ladder. Large generation gap. Too many people are only talking about retirement instead of innovative ideas.
