      Good benefits and flexibility, but anti-software.

      Pros

      Very flexible with shifting your schedule around to meet personal needs. Lots of PTO and good benefits and pay in my experience.

      Cons

      Management is basically only path for advancement. Openly hostile to software development: "We are not a software company". Bureaucratic in the extreme. So many shifting initiatives and jargon and synergistic nonsense. Management zombies trying to push this Koolaid. Suffers badly from diffusion of responsibility.

      Great technology, great employees, poor management, detached executives

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You will be working with some of the best and brightest engineers and scientists in the world. There is an excellent culture of openness, equality, and responsibility that has developed as a result of the executive embarrassments of the early 2000s. Compensation is generally competitive, but raises are poor, and bonuses for non-management are paltry. Monstrous company, lots of positions to grow into for your career, if you can find an open one not actually reserved for someone already in the company (they do try very hard to help laid off employees to find other positions inside the company). Health benefits at one time were considered some of the best in the country, but have been recently reduced to now only comparable to industry competition. Still decent, but not awesome. 401k contribution pretty solid, but again not as great as it used to be.

      Cons

      Executives have made lots of choices the past few years in the interests of cutting costs (a.k.a. layoffs, site consolidation, benefit reductions). For the defense side of the company, the constant contract cycle can be quite stressful if you get into a situation where your employment depends on the whims of the government customer or the competency of your local leadership, which can often be up-and-comers targeted for leadership positions, and have zero concern for their next opportunity - they don't fight hard or always make choices in the long-term interests of a program. This ship handles like a pig. Change is soooooooooooooooo sloooooooooooooooooooow. IT is pretty far behind the technology curve. Far too much still done in spreadsheets or on paper.

      An adventure

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Got to develop some really cool technology, worked with all different kinds of aircraft, and saw parts of the country I never would have otherwise gotten to see

      Cons

      - It's hard for management to recognize the value of their employees - Graybeards are rampant throughout the company and are often reluctant to change - Everyone is focused on the short term. No willingness to admit a vision beyond 3 months.
