Pros

-Pay (but comes with a caveat) if you’re Exempt and you ask for a pay scale to see where you’ve landed or where your progression is. They will lie to you and tell you “we don’t have any such thing”

Cons

-Toxic Work Environment -Business Leaders don’t care about their people -If you’re not in the good ole boy club and you challenge your higher leadership in regards to favoritism you will essentially become exiled -If you’re an hourly worker they threat of being written up runs rampant; no place for bending or seeing human error immediately it’s against the employee; UNLESS you’re the favored one. -Business Leaders will let great employees walk when they’ve hit a breaking point versus recognizing they are key players -Follow through is SEVERELY lacking here. From emails to projects. -The favoritism is so strong that there are people that have been fired for the same issues as someone who didn’t even get written up -If you’re an exempt employee and you put in for an internal job your business leader gets a notification that you’re seeking a different path. This is grimy to me this can cause intervention and or sabotage but again if you’re liked and are a yes (Wo)Man you will go far. I saw it many many times.

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.
