Pros

Makes products that secures national security. Average work/life balance. Working towards better flexibility. 3 weeks of vacation

Cons

Old school mentality throughout all of management. Too structured-- everything is "policy". Limited promotions, give you every excuse in the book as to why they cant give you a promotion (but report record sales every year). Limited growth opportunities, especially if you have advanced degrees.

Limited opportunity for growth

Pros

Seemed to be a stable company without any need to worry about tomorrow. Provides the opportunity to grow as a manager if you join the so called ELTP program.

Cons

Very limited opportunity to grow as a professional due to the nature of products and customers. Practically, having a software development job there implies loosing a competitiveness at the job market. Too much formalism in the process of evaluating individual contributors.
