Fascinating space work but low pay and no growth - Design Engineer Amentum Employee Review

Great pay, great environment, active security clearance

Working on old equipment, 6am start time

Excellent work-life balance with a 9/80 schedule and generous paid holidays. Strong benefits, including a solid 401(k) match. Stable company with good job security supporting government contracts. Supportive team and leadership in my experience. Opportunities to work on high-visibility national security missions. Great place for veterans and those with government or military backgrounds.

Many roles require working in a SCIF with limited flexibility. Career progression can depend on contract structure and available openings. Some processes can be slower due to government customer requirements. Opportunities for remote work are limited depending on the position. Compensation can lag behind private-sector opportunities for certain management roles.
