Pros

If you like to deliver results and gain ownership you can get along really fast. responsabilities, recognition and tons of learning are gain fast. in a professional and relax enviroment. People there is really willing to get thing done, no mather where are you in the world, those who really work will help you or direct you. Good salaries for a recient graduated Eng.

Cons

There are a lot of processes and more processes, so many that even long carreer guys aren't aware of all of them, and most of the times are a waste of time. There is a cultural double standard about performance evaluation and work review; if are in good terms with your manager/reviewer your life will be easier, if you call out their flags, you'll end up loking for your next job For the amount of people working there, so few get a lot of the workload, and your are likely to do all the heavy lifting and be on the "b team"

Pros

The engineers who work hard and take themselves seriously are still working here and are great to collaborate with and solve problems. The projects are interesting, as long as your manager is considering your interests and career path. There are ample opportunities in commercial and military, with the commercial being more of a remote/Teams environment and military being more in person. Bonus structure is strong, 15%. Incentive pay for coming to work. Work life balance mostly depends on the job you sign up for.

Cons

Managers may not have come up through the engineering ranks and so they may not understand us. They focus more on process, like Flight Deck, than having actual knowledge to solve problems. The technical expertise in the sub section and especially section level has gone down in the last 5-10 years. This less technical management class seems to be impacting engineering turnover among the IC’s. Additionally, constant pivots, often due to inconsistent funding, also decrease morale. Lastly, it’s possible your manager doesn’t care as much about your career as they do just getting tasks done / covering the bases. Basically non-existent health care (very high premium and deductible for larger families). Biased hiring through Next Engineers.
