Pros

The pay can be good hourly if you live there and work a minimum of 60 hours a week.

Cons

Don't go above and beyond and try to make the place better. They just want to push product out, regardless of quality. Senior management also does not hold vendors accountable to get quality parts in and in a timely manner. They can keep going on with 500 day lead times and when the parts finally get to the facility, they fail. Oh and forget about having a good amount of vacation time until you've been there for 10 years.

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.
