Pros

Good work environment, pension still exists, some new initiatives are being worked to foster more appreciation and there seem to be growing opportunities to progress up the ladder.

Cons

Some of the systems are stuck in the old ways. Progress is slow being a defense contractor. Managers are hit or miss. Some will help you develop while others are coasting.

Pros

Good working environment Exciting projects Great coworkers (for the most part, like any place)

Cons

Like any maturing company, it has become more and more top-heavy, placing more and more emphasis on project management and milestones, sometimes over bread-and-butter engineering. I could have half the PMs I have now and do a better job
