Pros

There are no pros of working in Roy.

Cons

If you are offered a position in Roy, Utah do not take it. Relocation is only used as blackmail to hold people in Roy for at least a year. Still people will leave before that. Despite what Northrop may tell you, they were the sole bidder on the GBSD program. They are 25 years behind using any type of modern technology on this program and you will suffer because of it. Management is clueless and the boomers need to step away for any progress to be made. Pay is low for everyone and so is moral.

Pros

Decent benefits, high quality/moral teammates

Cons

Low pay. Overworked employees (most people are taking on multiple roles (usually would be the work/expectation of two, sometimes three or more employees/roles) with no increase in pay. Practically everyone eats lunch while they work. You are paid hourly and have to track your hours, ensuring every hour is given the appropriate charge code, even if you are a full-time "salaried employee". You are not allowed to work overtime without permission and working overtime is just more hours at your usual pay rate. Management is mostly incompetent. At my last one in one meeting with my manager, he said, "So, I gave essentially this same feedback in everyone's quarterly review. I expect you get more tasks done, to do them on time, and to start investing in AI." I actually called him out and said, "I need to push back on what you are asking of me because... I do an of that and more. Especially in regards to AI. You simply do not have enough time with the employees that you manage and...you don't know what we're doing." All he said was, "That's fair." and said things were changing with his latest project finishing up (it's been done for close to a month now. While there's more I could report on, those are probably the biggest concerns
