Pros

Pay is generally good,, and overtime is definitely available should you desire it.

Cons

Leadership is horrible (very few exceptions). Management and supervisors are still trying to carve out their kingdom so that when the layoffs/downsizing comes they will be covered. They desperately need to re-organize their leaders... too many of them. Quality is generally mediocre. They lose tons of money due to scrap. Culture is a sham. They promise a great culture and a lifestyle while at work... reality is NOTHING like that. Its not a horrible culture, just nothing like was promised. Divide in the people... half the company believe in the company... the other half are receiving a paycheck and don't ever think this will come to fruition. Its sad when you talk to the engineers that should be championing this project and they are completely pessimistic about ever getting to space. Revolving personnel. They can't keep the good people there...

Pros

People and communities are wonderful. It is a good brand to work under. Hybrid schedule is great

Cons

Zero promotion opportunities. Go get experience, but do not expect them to promote you in any way. They will only promote people they like. Brand name is only good thing. management are silo from people who are doing the actual work. VP and directors will yell at you and embarrassed you during an executive meeting.
