Pros

Decent-ish pay...but highly variable start rates...if you enter this job with a bachelor, you must INSIST to be an engineer if at all possible, if not, only settle for a mid-level technician or senior technician spot. Because: Progress at the company is extremely slow and based on very strict and slim quotas, leaving behind many exceptionally productive and high-quality employees behind. I would only recommend this work for either recent college grads for 1-2 years to stack money while looking for better 9-5 hour work, or potentially someone with no other medium income earning potential as they will hire just about any experience or education level. Do NOT stay at this company longer than 2 years if you have a degree, or if you do you MUST become an engineer by that point or leave the company, otherwise you will be stuck there on shift 12 hour work for the rest of your life and won't have much to show for it.

Cons

12 hour shifts, likely forced to do nights as condition of your hire. Very very poor leadership, no one in mid-level management or below is willing to speak truth to power or advocate for shift employees. High performers get either pitiful or no meaningful recognition while mistake-prone or willfully negligent employees are allowed to breeze by. Even if the company has strong profits, you are not guaranteed a raise, and if you get one it will be pitiful and barely eek out inflation. Management is very tone deaf and usually will yell for things to be done without bothering to understand underlying issues. Also, for a billion dollar company they are very willing and even pleased to have run-down and out of date accommodations and facilities. The place looks and feels forgotten, as will you eventually on your computer! Overall: Do not take this job for longer than 2 years if you have literally any other career prospects, take it and while you have it just use it as a security to interview like mad and negotiate hard for a good job you want elsewhere.

Pros

Reasonable work-life balance, good benefits, and the company weathers economic downturns well (no layoffs during the 2009 Recession or the 2020 Pandemic). The new CEO highly values diversity and allyship in the workplace, and all employees are required to take ally training held by the various Employee Resource Groups. The work is extremely fast paced, as any issues with the manufacturing line need to be fixed ASAP. I personally find that this makes the job interesting and fulfilling, but it does mean that the job quickly swings between relaxed and high-stress. Thankfully it is relaxed more often than not.

Cons

There is no hybrid Work From Home at this site for non-manufacturing job roles, despite good WFH performance during the Pandemic. This decision seemed to come from the executive level without feedback from engineering teams. The Manassas site focuses on legacy part types, meaning there aren't a lot of high-level engineering positions available for growth opportunities (no R&D). A few small complaints: The site looks and feels dated, with cubicle walls that have been there for at least 25 years. The old cafeteria was converted into more cleanroom space, meaning the current cafeteria is in a large trailer. The food on site isn't particularly good and costs a lot. There is a small gated outdoor patio to eat lunch on, but if you want to go outside for a walk to take a quick break from work, you need to exit and enter through security. Perhaps they could expand the gate around the building to enable access and more walking space.
