Pros

Solid benefits, good salary. I know there are layoffs from time to time, but they do really try to protect their employees. General not a bad work environment.

Cons

It is not unusual to see people promoted based on who you know, or simply being female, being a minority so quotas can be met rather than promoting based on skill and ability. I have seen several programs fail because of people promoted beyond their abilities. As others have said, it really does help to know an M level manager, or better yet an E. It is also not unusual to see employees perform well below what they should be and nothing is done about it.

Pros

In general good smart people, good pay, good benefits. Extremely large company with many business organizations around the world. Size creates many opportunities, especially when looking to move to another part of the country..

Cons

Out sourcing to reduce costs and yearly budget reduction at the detriment of employees and services, Up and down cyclical buisiness dependant on commerical airplane sales or government contracts.
