Business Outlook

Pros

Easiest work ever and good wlb.

Cons

Most boring job ever. You learn nothing or things so useless your brain hurts all the time. Everyone makes themselves look busy by extending out work 3-8 times longer than it needs to be because there is no merit. Management is so behind the times and very conservative. They lack skills in management and all the good managers left. Pay isn’t even good for fly over country.

Business Outlook

Pros

You will get to work on a lot of interesting projects (but that is the case with any defense contractor). The office has a lot of amenities -- they just remodeled and it is very nice. They give good PTO benefits They give a good 401K match (that is hard for other companies to compete with). You get exposed to a wide variety of tech stacks. You get to work on multiple different projects -- keeping you relevant in the industry.

Cons

- The benefits are not even close to as good as when I started. They really have cut our benefits significantly. - Promotions are extremely rare - In my opinion, they pay way under market rate for the skills they require. - Lack of responsibility in management. - They have a tendency to just through you on new projects and not give you the proper training needed to be functional.
