Pros

Most of my co-workers are great honest, hard-working people.

Cons

Nepotism, cronyism and corruption run rampant... Most managers are arrogant, cut-throat and only interested in lining their own pockets. Management cannot be trusted. You will only advance in this company if you are a a relative or buddy of someone in a management role. Management lies to their employees; lies to their customers If you are lacking in morals and values, this may just be the place for you. If you have one moral bone in your body, RUN as fast as you can. Management needs a complete overhaul!!!

Pros

Well managed all around. Used to be a really good place to work, but since they went public, it's just a good place to work.

Cons

Defence industry, typical feast or famine. Either working over time to tight schedules or nothing to do.

Pros

The only Pro with this company was having every other Friday off.

Cons

Poor leadership and management culture. In my experience, management positions are often filled from a small, long-tenured group, resulting in limited diversity of thought and few opportunities for outside perspectives. Many leaders lacked the skills needed to effectively develop, mentor, and support their teams. Rather than addressing organizational issues, accountability often seemed to flow downward, with lower-level employees bearing the consequences of management decisions. I also observed talented Program Managers leaving or being terminated under circumstances that suggested they were being held responsible for broader organizational problems rather than receiving appropriate leadership support. Overall, the culture discouraged transparency, accountability, and professional growth.
