Pros

You get Christmas through new years off. Company helps pay for schooling after working there for a certain time. Company rewards the collective effort of all employees with food. Shift differential.

Cons

Good ol boys club between supervisors and leads. Company had a mass hiring which brought on bad/lazy and unqualified techs. Company pushes for integrity, respect, honesty but that's not really shown by certain supervisors. There are a lot of issues around customer products not being done on time or correctly. Management's solution to the problem is to implement more oversight and micro manage more processes along the way instead of evaluating the individual technicians who are creating the problems.

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.
