Pros

Great collection of sharp minds and a culture that encourages growth and sharing knowledge. The Chinook Program still has exciting projects and great teams. The enterprise is vast, so you can move to a new program and remain under the company umbrella.

Cons

It is a big company, so things move slow, from a corporate ladder perspective. Also, the current performance evaluation structure rates employees compared to other employees; somebody is always rated the worst. This translates to this scenario: an entire team can all equally contribute, but 20 percent has to be rated great, 60 percent rated average, 20 percent are rated below average.

Pros

Work-life balance has been great at the Long Beach site. My coworkers are very considerate and supportive. Benefits suck as parental leave and 401k, Roth 401k, and mega backdoor Roth make it so you can really get ahead in terms of retirement building. They are trying to get better in culture and performance rather than some companies that don’t even pretend to care. During the pandemic there was no training. Now there’s some!

Cons

Base pay can be slightly lower than other companies for specific skills. Each site and each organization within each site has its own culture depending on who is the VP/executive team. There are so many executives it’s hard to get things done. Things move very slowly.
