Pros

Interesting work, HR works quickly (at least when they are laying you off), great perks if you get into management (a big if).

Cons

Use of bait and switch tactics for new hires, constant focus on managers, including the company’s insistence on calling all of them “leaders”. Managers who kiss up to their superiors at the expense of rank and file employees. Lion’s share of resources allocated for management (training, computers, facilities, travel), difficult to get into management if you’re not one of their “Golden Boys”.

Pros

Good people at lower levels. Interesting product base.

Cons

Horrible middle management; too much dead weight buying time until retirement. Getting anything productive done is painful. Internal bureaucracy and corporate inertia is worse than actually working in DoD. Lots of tracking, very little acting.

Pros

It's a decent place to learn about engineering for space. Working at a large company, you can find and network in order for you to grow and maintain job stability. A really great work life balance with a 9/80 work schedule.

Cons

There are many problems with adopting new technology as they are stuck in the past. Certain process and procedures maybe overkill as it hinders your ability to get the job done. If you want to learn or be on more interesting projects, you will have to look at the Denver facility. Pay is much lower than average for silicon valley.
