Pros

I worked with a solid team, flexible yet goal oriented. Compensation was strong (not nearly as high as google, meta, amazon, etc.) but solid. Benefits are okay. Decent work-life balance. Did not work ridiculous hours and had sufficient time for personal things.

Cons

Benefits need to be better.

Pros

Strong learning environment with exposure to real-world defense and space systems. Great opportunity to work alongside experienced engineers and gain hands-on experience in systems engineering processes, documentation, and architecture. The company provides solid benefits, job stability, and access to impactful, mission-driven projects. Interns and junior employees are given meaningful responsibilities rather than just busy work.

Cons

Some processes can be slow due to the size of the organization and strict compliance requirements. Communication between teams can occasionally be unclear, and tools or workflows may feel outdated compared to more modern tech companies. Advancement can take time depending on the team and program.
