Pros

The pay is great but the promotions and raises are super bad.

Cons

Everything else. The company has WAY too many controlling documents, the last thing that Blue needs to do is to create more "Plans". The techs should outnumber the Managers, Sr. Managers, Directors and Sr. Directors 30:1, at this point in time there is a 2:3 ratio of assembly technicians to people with Director in their title. If you have an opinion about 1 of the 17 tools that Blue uses and you are critical of it in any way shape or form you will be treated as an enemy of the state and be hung out too dry.There are so many acronyms most people can't get through a 'wiki" page, company memo or presentation. The canned response when you ask for help is "did you check the wiki", which is like the Blue home page. The problem is there are a million wiki pages and most of the information is out of date and there is ZERO control over the information. Additionally, it's impossible to find controlled documents because there are so many approved repositories such as: SVN, Windchill, DEX, DOORs, DOORs NexGen and on the GD wiki! How this place has an AS9100 certification is beyond me. When I give people tours every single person asks "where are the workers", that's a problem. It's so bad I don't help friends get jobs anymore, it's doing them a disservice.

Smart and driven workforce Amazing vision Access to the best infrastructure

Cons

C and V Level used to running companies not building them. They don't understand how to get their hands dirty and manage the business and build up the processes and people.
