      Pros

      Strong learning environment with exposure to real-world defense and space systems. Great opportunity to work alongside experienced engineers and gain hands-on experience in systems engineering processes, documentation, and architecture. The company provides solid benefits, job stability, and access to impactful, mission-driven projects. Interns and junior employees are given meaningful responsibilities rather than just busy work.

      Cons

      Some processes can be slow due to the size of the organization and strict compliance requirements. Communication between teams can occasionally be unclear, and tools or workflows may feel outdated compared to more modern tech companies. Advancement can take time depending on the team and program.

      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.
