Pros

Within the engineering group, the atmosphere is pleasant and there is little to no micro-management to work with/around. Benefits are good. Annual raises have been about 2-4%. Small annual bonus. Plenty of autonomy for engineers with freedom to build/create/design as desired.

Cons

Very limited opportunities for promotion or lateral transfers to other positions. Many employees / new engineers have hired in at lower pay bands only to remain in the same position for 5+ years with no chance of changing jobs. The result has been good, young, talent leaving for GM, FCA, BAE, etc. The company is run by (mostly) old, white men on the advice of many other older, white men who are retired Army. The result is that management is set in its ways for building combat vehicles & does not value alternate opinions. Business is 100% dependent on government contracts, which is affected by the whims of politicians and Army leaders in Warren.

Weak Upper Management Team

Pros

PTO is above average and 9/80 schedule is great!

Cons

Very incompetent Upper Management team for years who mostly manage by intimidation. They surround themselves with "yes man" type of individuals that are average to bellow average individuals. The culture moved backwards in time in the past 10-15 years where the rest of the world moved forward. The reason they can get away with this behavior is due to the large sole source contracts that they have and no fear of competition. This management team will not last a month under normal real business world operations. Bad decision after anther in the past few years and the business looks bleak.

Pros

Great healthcare and 401K benefits. So many sports teams its easy to meet other employees.

Cons

Never learn anything that is on the leading edge of technology. All their web technology is ancient and their internal use of software is not industry standard. Total Oracle house. Doing timecards suck.
