Pros

Opportunity for different interesting assignments. Pay and medical are better than most large companies. Employee morale was improved after Jack Welsh left as CEO. The variety of different equipment worked with and the different students I was able to train kept my employment interesting. I trained Navy Petty Officers on AEGIS, Shield of the Fleet on several different systems. Also, NASA radar technicians on MOTR, Multiple Object Tracking Radar after the tragic Challenger Space Shuttle accident. My previous RCA employment was counted as seniority towards retirement when a contract was acquired. As a retiree, I am grateful that I stayed the course and made it,

Cons

Neutron Jack came in and wiped out 35%. of the staff. Remainder had to become overachievers.

Pros

It is a large, well known company, if that is important to you. Their benefits are good, but they are on the expensive side for employees. Their management conforms to the GE Mold or they are quickly replaced. If you like the mold, it could be the place for you.

Cons

It is not a healthy work environment. Employees there work in continual fear of when the axe is going to fall and they will be terminated with out any forewarning or clear explanation.

Pros

You are surrounded by intellegent, hard working people willing to help you learn and grow.

Cons

Employee morale is at an all time low. Long hours are the norm rather than the exception.
