Pros

On-boarding was pretty good Schedule was flexible

Bad management Plenty of layoffs Didnt offer to help move people instead of laying people off Flew all of the directors and executives to one city to talk about "budget" then laying off folks afterward Pay and benefits not that great Lay-off notification was hidden as a "skip meeting"

Defense contractor, average benefits. Some locations are better than others.

Far behind in benefits, other defense contractors have better 401k match, PTO, salary, bonus plans( if any) educational match. Very poor relocation benefits internal IT problems. No real option to work from home on most positions. Not enough support for non technical positions.
