Pros

Many opportunities to grow and thrive.

Cons

Management is a complete joke. They are requiring that every employee on the floor works 55+ hours a week regardless of their life circumstances. They consider this amount of time to be the requirement of a full time employee, or that was what has been communicated to me via one of the operations directors. Do not work at this company unless you want to be treated as less than human. They do not respect or appreciate the amount of work you do and will constantly demand for higher quantities with a severely short staffed site. They lack communication and will constantly change they priorities, only to blame you for not getting the past work out as well. Do not recommend.

Pros

Nice coworkers and good projects.

Cons

Management continually ices good projects with good results to stop bad projects from bleeding. Entire company will grind to a halt once or twice a year because the C-suite is worried about how some numbers look, even though bookings are solid. Only willing to invest in R&D if it's not their money. Pay is not competitive and you will have to strongarm them for cost of living increases.

Pros

I've worked at several DoD companies in Huntsville and it's been the best one so far. Things can get busy during crunch time, but overall the projects are manageable, the culture is good, and the work is fun.

Cons

There's these very strange "hip" initiatives that marketing and HR take on which feels strange for a defense company. They are trying to make it more modern like a Google, Apple workplace, but it just feels wrong to be honest.
