Pros

Designing and building airplanes is a blast. The salary and benefits package is decent. The company is big, so if you want to do something else you usually can without leaving the company.

Cons

Large company. Typical large company issues. Some people get carried along when they shouldn't be. Union mentality keeps the company from growing more in Seattle/Puget Sound. Many times late nights and weekends required because the new approach seams to be a 24 hour company.

Pros

For context, I work on the defense side. The work is really fun and exciting with a lot of opportunities to grow. My team is close knit, supportive, and very passionate. Being a part of a union means paid overtime, which is really unusual for software.

Cons

Workload is insane. I often work weekends and have pulled 60-80 hour weeks many times. PTO is bare minimum. I have a lot of fun at work, but if I'm putting in startup-level effort, I should not be making well below market rate.
