Pros

Amentum has good clients such as the federal government that may ultimately hire you directly if you're client-facing

Cons

Amentum offers terrible benefits when compared to industry standards. Perhaps the biggest slap in the face is effectively working for the federal government where everyone gets 12 weeks paid parental leave, and Amentum only offers FOUR. I'm sorry but at 4 weeks postpartum, you're only getting minimal sleep, your milk supply hasn't regulated, you haven't even had a chance to heal and stop bleeding. What a joke. I am leaving the first chance I get because this is such a terrible policy and shows how non-family and female friendly this company is. Asking about parental leave during the interview process is taboo, so hopefully this helps someone. I know as soon as I got hired and found this out, I immediately started looking for a different job. Other benefits aren't great either - employee contributions for all insurance options are high for the Defense industry

Pros

Engaging work in support of NASA missions. The people are great and the managers I worked with are some of the best professionals I have ever worked with.

Cons

There are the usual linea of red tape since it is work in support of a government mission. However, being NASA, once you get over the bureaucracy, it is rewarding work. In the end, we are keeping the International Space Station going with experiments. All of which are to help us figure out how to keep humans alive during prolonged space travel.
