      Not bad, not great

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It's stable for the most part. Benefits aren't bad. Good place to begin a career but not a great place to stay unless you value stability over innovation.

      Cons

      Ponderous, bureaucratic, left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. Paralyzed by indecision in many groups. Often had to hold initial meetings to decide how many meetings will be needed to make a decision, rather than just making the decision then and there. While pay and benefits aren't stellar they are decent and reasonably stable. Some employees end up sticking around for the benefits than for any reasons related to pride in job or faith in senior management, which can lead to apathy amongst the lifers.

      9 to 5 kind of job.

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The benefits are good: free/cheap medical, pension, 100% education cost, lay back working environment. You can tag along without working too hard, just 9 to 5. Expect a 2 to 5% raise every year as long as you don't screw up badly. Expect profit sharing as a percentage of your salary: everyone gets the same % as long as he doesn't screw up badly.

      Cons

      Job Security: the government is the only buyer for defense projects, if the contract is lost/over then you are out of luck and might be offered a transfer to say... New Mexico. Lack of Passion: In defense, there are a lot of engineers who are too complacent and too unmotivated to make any kind of effort to better their work. They might have years of experiences but its years of sitting around and being complacent. Every project has 2 or 3 really excellent engineers but they eventually get tired of the rest of the deadwood. Big company issues: Internal competition and finger pointing with other groups and sites on the same project. Compensation: It seems like the older you are, the more you get paid. Working hard doesn't increase you salary as fast and as much as you think. Union: Some union employees won't work a minute extra to help you. They are very hard to deal with if you want to get something done fast.

      Good compensation for Internship program

      Student engineer - intern
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very good compensation for the internship program, and challenging work in creating products that are important to national security. Also, it was a pleasure to work with the other engineers on the team, and they treated me like I was in the group for years, even though the position was only temporary. Many of those who entered the program eventually were hired full-time once graduating at college. Plus I believe they have a tuition reimbursement program if you want to get your masters while working at the same time.

      Cons

      Sometimes it was difficult to identify specific tasks for the interns to do.
