Pros

The health benefits are great (you'd be hard-pressed to find better, depending on your field of work and experience). Also, the recent implementation of a decent 401(k) match works out nicely.

Cons

The business model is non-conducive to proper employee treatment and proper forward progress in concerns with business division growth. This company is extremely reticent to spend capital to update a business' hardware (PC's and operational machinery to do the job) or furthering the education of employees where it pertains to their job. There is no tuition reimbursement also, tying in with the aforementioned comment about not wanting to invest capital in their employees.

Pros

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.
