Pros

Regular yearly merit raises from 3-4%. Out of cycle promotions common if you demonstrate positive performance under higher than typical workloads or time constraints. Value your experience with standard company software, technology, and processes. Great place to start within the defense industry. The emphasize passing down the knowledge of experienced engineers to the younger employees.

Cons

Training can be lacking if more seasoned employees do not have the bandwidth. Deadlines can either be hard to meet on short notice or not given a hard-set deadline at all. Learning curve can take sometimes before real contributions can be made to some projects.

Pros

quality "engineer" work are easy.

Cons

i used the word "engineer" loosely as we don't do any engineering work. We track customer returns, sign waiver, place stop ship and data entries. They make you do continues improvement but will not spend money or allow you to implements the improvement. It just checking the box to say they do it. New boss make you push waiver so they can ship out products to meet their numbers. there is no internal promotion so forget about. Do 4 RIF and then ramp up hiring 3 months later.
