Pros

My pros are my manager and team coworkers. Outside of that not really a fan. I do well at what I do.

Cons

Honestly, ever since new management has come for the upper VPs and directors, a lot has shifted for the negative. Feels very micromanaging when we were told we were doing fine at home and there was no reason to have us come back in the office. Now suddenly we’re being forced back to the office. Other departments and I don’t really get along because there’s a bunch of petty people just trying to get others in trouble and all I’m doing is trying to do my job. Where I am at, everyone just talks all day and then complains about how much work they have.

Terrible culture

Pros

Big company benefits. Good healthcare and PTO. 401(k) match is generous.

Cons

No direction. No local engineering leadership. Uncertain future. No product roadmap. No local HR or support staff. Toxic culture due to poor site leadership that has driven away countless engineers and engineering managers. Exponential decline since BAE purchased us.

Not Supportive of the Military Like They Advertise

Pros

Great coworkers and important work.

Cons

Not compliant with USERRA and they don't care. If you ask about it, they will pass you around to multiple levels of HR, but they won't actually fix the issue. Return from a deployment, expected to go apply to new roles or they will suggest roles to apply to. Forced to interview for lesser roles or new roles rather than being placed in a comparable one as required by law. Roles are not at the same level of responsibility; they promise to close the gap but don't. Unfortunate given their mission statement "We Protect Those Who Protect Us". Apparently, that is only true in words, they push out military who deploy and don't offer equal roles when they return. They get sued often for USERRA violation and throw money at the employees, so they sign an NDA and try to keep it quiet.
