Business Outlook

Pros

Nothing spectacular about this company. Very similar to other defense contractors. Employee experience can vary widely. A decent choice if you want to work and live in Melbourne/Palm Bay. My experience: -Decent amount of tools and system test infrastructure available -Little to no overtime (project dependent) -Plenty of decent and intelligent people

Cons

This company also shares common complaints among other defense contractors. This company exists to generate value for shareholders and they don't try to hard to cover it up. I don't plan to stay here long term. - Assigned project and work location after starting was different than the interview. - Speed is absolute priority above all else - Program schedules can have resolution down to the hour and frequently change priorities - Accepted job with hybrid schedule but now forced 100% onsite - Little/no ability for career growth
