Pros
Exciting new technology applications. Progressive. Growth oriented. Good pay and benefits. Great location. Strong top leadership reflected in sustained, balanced growth. Consolidation of major missile programs to achieve operating efficiency. There are opportunities within the division and within the company. Not all of them are upward-oriented. There is always some achievement to celebrate - not just program successes but recognition for excellence in all business areas.
Cons
Bureaucracy. Technical arrogance. Lack of respect from peers. Working as a defense contractor tends to make us like them. Although the government has many initiatives to operate efficiently there are a lot of contractors and it's often hard to get an answer or see a path to an answer. Nobody seems to have the whole picture. Our organization parallels that image.
