Business Outlook

Pros

- Great culture - Work/life balance - Career growth opportunities - Good benefits and a generous 401K match

Cons

- Due to the red tape and the regulatory restrictions/industry, engineering teams tend to move very slowly and they don't work in harmony with other teams. - Depending on what program you work at, you will probably see a lot of politics. - If you know people you can grow in your career very quickly, even if you do not have the right skillsets. - So many organizational changes make it impossible to understand the big picture and the long-term roadmap.
