Pros

Wide variety of military and commercial projects, including rockets, spacecraft, airplanes, drones, and more. You can move around these product lines and the country. Although benefits have eroded, they are still generous, with stock for those selected for the Technical Fellowship, 401K matching, time off, profit sharing, charitable donation matching, comprehensive health insurance for immediate family, and more.

Cons

Male-dominated culture. Bureaucracy. Shabby office environments, lots of cubicles. Seattle area locations are far from the center. Rivalries between different locations and divisions. Layoffs.

Pros

Work-life balance has been great at the Long Beach site. My coworkers are very considerate and supportive. Benefits suck as parental leave and 401k, Roth 401k, and mega backdoor Roth make it so you can really get ahead in terms of retirement building. They are trying to get better in culture and performance rather than some companies that don’t even pretend to care. During the pandemic there was no training. Now there’s some!

Cons

Base pay can be slightly lower than other companies for specific skills. Each site and each organization within each site has its own culture depending on who is the VP/executive team. There are so many executives it’s hard to get things done. Things move very slowly.
