Pros

Good place to be for a work/life balance. Access to decades of heritage knowledge and tools for professional growth. Lots of experts are still here even though many from the TRW days are gone and culture as shifted more to being safer than innovative. People are friendly and collaborative.

Cons

Growth is slow and hard work is not always rewarded to the same level. Challenges with management in large programs and working with others in different parts of the US. Work may get repetitive and very hard to break out of status quo of practices even though there may be better ways of doing things.

Pros

Work life balance is great

Cons

Sometimes work can be boring and not what you signed up for. Your happiness will depend a lot on the team and program you are on. Overall I think NG as whole is a good company
