Pros

They offed great benefits. They reimburse masters tuition to approximately $7000/term. It is very easy to move around in the company if a position does not suit you. The salary is very competitive and they are the number one defense contractor in the world! The work is extremely enjoyable!

Cons

The long hours are very hard on you. Also, the shift work can be a drag at times. But it is all worth it because you are taken care of by the company.

Pros

Great for starting a career and short term advancement. Peopl are more than willing to share there knowledge and inprove your growth as an engineer. With the high number of senior engineers there is a wealth of knowledge to be given and since they are so close to retirment there is plenty of room for advancement as well.

Cons

The size and that fact that upper management don't really know who are working for them. The political stucture is very complex and hard to comprehend when first starting out. The big picture is also hard to grasp at first but becomes more clear over time.

Pros

Lots of opportunities, several different business units to work for, several leadership programs for entry level and mid-career level employees. OK benefits except for the new health care plan they're forcing everyone to adopt.

Cons

Large corporate beauracracy can't be avoided in a company this size, but a lot of the process of getting through to senior management is different between business units.
