Pros

- Receipt of a paycheck - Ability to work with a handful of genuinely good people

Cons

- Leadership encourages (almost guilts) team members into going online and leaving good reviews about the company in social media platforms - The ELT is totally detached from the pulse and true culture that is present at the site level - even after many employee engagement surveys, nothing gets done - Vision and strategic direction of the company is off base and subjective; actions taken as part of "1MPACT" are not data driven and truly value added nor sustainable - Communication of goals and performance of plan to actual is horrendous from the top down and from the bottom back up. This is because of poor management at the site and senior BU leadership level as the management style is executed by micromanagement and/or someone that has reached their point of incompetence (Peter Principle) - The organization as a whole does not follow its own Core Values, Ethics or examples of Morale with the biggest being a lack of accountability and integrity - Compensation for the true value add folks, those hourly direct laborers that work on site, kitting, assembling, testing, inspecting and shipping the products (and have through COVID) are simply not treated the same as their salaried counterparts. They are just another number in a head count and capacity plan

Pros

Good people to work with, unlimited vacation (HR still keeps tabs on it), good benefits

Cons

Upper management does not allow work/life balance. Expectations to work overtime often, and not financial reward when it comes to merit increase. Not valued as an employee

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.
