Pros

We are working some very important issues for our Defense Dept and International Customers. It's nice to know you're helping those service members who are out there on the front lines every day and night protecting the interests of the USA.

Cons

With the focus on LEAN and various value stream schemes, we are very lean in the area I work. That means more pressure to perform at the highest possible levels. That pressure isn't hammered upon me from my supervisors, it is an internal thing that I feel from within. When the Commercial side of the business is suffering, it's up to the IDS side of the house to do their best for the Company. For the last 4+ years IDS has kept this company afloat thru some difficult times.

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.
