      Pros

      Stable job; lots of great people still there; get to support fielded products

      Company leadership has lost interest in innovation; reliance on people has been replaced by reliance on process, which has led to more and more bureaucracy

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Strong defense customer relationships. Decent pay and benefits. 9/80 Schedule Patriotic Senior Leadership (Blue Family)

      Cons

      Weak organization. Poor management communication and structure. Lack of systems engineering. Many kingdoms and fiefdoms of political alliances. 'Never time to do it right, always time to do it again after it fails' Significant turnover of employees. Many people killing time until they retire or get vested in retirement accounts. Many people here only for flexible 9/80 schedule.
