Pros

Good place to be for a work/life balance. Access to decades of heritage knowledge and tools for professional growth. Lots of experts are still here even though many from the TRW days are gone and culture as shifted more to being safer than innovative. People are friendly and collaborative.

Cons

Growth is slow and hard work is not always rewarded to the same level. Challenges with management in large programs and working with others in different parts of the US. Work may get repetitive and very hard to break out of status quo of practices even though there may be better ways of doing things.

Pros

The people you work for directly are wonderful professionals. They listen and truly work together as a team, sharing their ideas and critiques freely and fairly. Even the managers, leads and program mangers are the best I have worked with in a while.

Cons

The Csuite are not as inventive and very risk averse. They cry about needing to keep talent and keep the knowledge base from being lost. But when a program gets canceled or stop work, if you arent at one of their main work sites like in Dulles or Gilbert, you are out of luck now with their push of no "remote" work. And by remote that means not at whatever site the managers are at. And it isnt the managers choice either as the corporate pushes them to deny "remote" or make their lives miserable if they try to keep current employees that could fill the role at other offices.
