A decent company to work for aerospace...not so much for software

Senior software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great company for work/life balance. Good amount of vacation, lots of work holidays (including a week shutdown during the holidays) 9/80 schedule allowed days off every other Friday.

Cons

Not a "fast-paced" work environment by any means. Behind the curve technology-wise (at least from a software standpoint) Workforce seems to be shrinking.

Business Outlook

Pros

Pension benefits & education assistance

Cons

Too many companies/group within the company and they compete each other for business as well. It's a CMMI 5 company, so more of a waterfall development approach. They use martix system for functional management and you may report to someone whom you never met or going to meet.
