Pros
Pay is better than most defense industry companies. 401k match is nice after a year and vested by 3. Health bennies are good and cheap compared to other companies. Decent PTO. 3 weeks paid parental. Yearly bonus.
Cons
The amount of red tape this company has in place to get something done is absurd. Don’t bother applying for a Subcontracts job. VP thinks buyers and SubK are the same. This is nothing more than a PR placement job. You’ll make zero decisions. They are all made for you by management or worse, Material Program Managers (MPM). Apply for MPM and skip being a PO placer. You’ll never be included on the front end decision making. You’ll have to just live with the horrendous decisions made by MPM’s who know literally zero about supply chain and the FAR. You will have 10-15 of these ill equipped MPM’s E-mailing and IM’g you daily asking is it done yet like a small child. They don’t grasp the concept of having SubK involved in the early stages and they’ll just dump incomplete PR’s to you with one sentence SSJ’s and look at you crossed eyed when you ask for documentation to support a SS decision. If you can’t beat them, might as well join them. Stay away from SubK unless you want to be a glorified buyer that has to sit there and do what your told.
