Business Outlook

Pros

The flexible work schedule is nice. If I have something personal that I need to take care of, chances are I can flex my time. The ability to earn overtime. some companies salary positions offer no compensation for over time, the current job I have pays straight time when hours exceed 45 weekly.

Cons

Often times scope and schedule are very very demanding. Management tends to promise the impossible, even if you warned them that what they promised in the amount of time it is promised is not feasable.

Business Outlook

Pros

Overall, the company has a wide portfolio of security capabilities. There are facilities throughout the world. There are many opportunities for cutting edge research and development.

Cons

The current management has not lived up to the mantra of "full-spectrum leadership" The mission (never forget who we are working for) and the lack of value of the individual employee has made it an awful place to work
