Pros

Highly mIssion-focused organization, for a great mission -- defending our country. The company knows very well that they are an engineering company. So, they look after and appreciate their engineers. Also great with & for veterans. Tops in ethics. Excellent culture. Excellent people to work with, and work for.

Cons

Starting salaries tend to the low side, salary growth tends to be slow. (Salary process has become fairly transparent.) Training budget always tiny. (Beginning to do more in employee training with innovative approaches.)

Pros

- Great work life balance - There are areas of cutting edge technologies - Relatively easy to move to other geographic regions - Relatively easy to move to another program (most people stay in a role for at least a year before changing positions) - Great benefits - In the past, great opportunity for growth, but this has been harder as the Government reduces spending - The company is pushing hard to branch into International markets - There are a wide range of opportunities and roles. Most people could find something that lines up with their strengths and career goals - Generally, there is a strong focus on the employees and the company does care. - Overall, I would highly recommend the company but one's experience can vary greatly depending on the project and management team.

Cons

- This may not be a fair generalization across the corporation, but I feel it has lost touch with its core - strong engineering and development. I do not see the younger, 1-5 years of experience, talent being pushed technically as much as I would like. I feel the company should put more emphasis on rewarding and keeping good technical talent.
