Pros

Pretty good benefits and some groups have management teams that really care about their people and work.

Cons

You can really feel the "everyone is replaceable" vibe from corporate, there is a ton of self-imposed obstacles to be able to bid for new work, and the decision makers appears to be more focused on short term gain rather than making strategic long-term decisions.

Pros

Benefits and opportunities to move between organizations. Lots of diversity. Can find great mentors in almost every group to learn tricks of trade.

Cons

0utdated salary ranges and/or annual increase for the cost of living in the area after initial hire. Compressed salaries leads to talent loss/high attrition rates. Aeronautical Systems Affiliate: Work from home isn't encouraged so other compensation needs to be provided. Lags in process streamlining which can make a usual simple task drawn out and cumbersome. Work life balance is encouraged but seems to be an abstract idea vs putting into practice in some groups.
