Pros

Engineers are great mentors to younger engineers coming up the ranks. Young engineers get exposed to as many things that they can handle inside the company. This includes advanced topics like advanced communications, imagery, high speed cameras, SOA, enterprise architecture and radar equipment.

Cons

Very slow project movement and very wasteful with money. Projects aren't taken very seriously so a lot of time is wasted on bad projects. The leadership needs to shape up or the facility may go away. A majority of the workers are very old and do not like to put any effort into work.

Pros

The hybrid schedule is a major benefit and provides a good balance between in-office collaboration and flexibility.

Cons

Career growth can feel limited if you are not originally from Utah or already connected within the local organization. Time off can feel limited compared to the government customer you support. The customer often receives more holidays and administrative leave, but contractor employees may still be constrained by sector policies even when the contract generally follows the customer’s schedule.
