Pros

Great company culture with strong long-term stability and career opportunities. Large campus with many internal growth paths, strong leadership, and exciting generational aerospace and defense programs. The company is emphasizing continuous learning and employee development, and the defense industry offers strong job security and resilience even as AI changes other industries.

Cons

Like many large companies, there is constant organizational change and shifting priorities, which can sometimes create uncertainty or slow decision making. However, this is common across most large corporations and comes with the scale and growth of the business.
