Pros

Cool products that you get to touch, take apart and drive. Lots of good meaningful work to sink your teeth into. They are very employee friendly and allow you to flex your time. They are flexible to your personal life too.

Cons

Depending on the programs, it can get very busy and there is some stress. But stress is good. Most middle management seems to be good, but a few who should have better people skills and less ego. But tolerable. We also have a lot of real young engineers who are very smart and know Pro E, but do not have the experience, which hurts. Also some of the young engineers lack some professional skills and at times can not conduct themselves accordingly. But overall, we can overlook that and enjoy our work and see our products develop which is very rewarding.

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.
