Pros

Great work/life balance. Unique industries. Challenging work. Opportunity to change/advance internally.

Cons

"Need to know" work culture makes it difficult for employees to know how and why they're valued. Sink or swim. Advancement may be slow.

Staff appreciate the job stability, good pay/benefits relative to the Aerospace & Defense industry, and highly professional engineering teams. Many report a strong sense of purpose and trust in their immediate colleagues.

Cons

On the downside, some reviewers cite a top-heavy, process-oriented management structure, occasional disjointed communication across departments, and strict, high-pressure deadlines.
