      Pros and cons from a Finance organization perspective.

      Finance manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Good benefits - Some jobs have good work life balance (although people are getting more stretched year over year) - Cross functional teams are enjoyable to work in - Job stability

      Cons

      - Management is out of touch and micromanages throughout the businesses and within the functional matrix - Difficult to find meaningful and challenging finance positions (a lot of positions are centered around report generation and consolidation of data) - Sandbagging is encouraged over accuracy - Have often heard the phrase "people are lucky to have a job" - this has led to a lot of high potentials leaving the company for better positions because they were unable to progress without "putting in their time"

      Great products that support the warfighter but ethics and respect need to apply to employees at all levels

      Pros

      Supports the warfighter. Shuts down for a week at Christmas.

      Cons

      Bogged down with over the top processes. Far too much time spent on respect and ethics training which is often times ignored by "leaders". Says they don't have "quotas" but based on the makeup of your particular location you are given a list each year stating you need to hire X number of women, X number of POC's (persons of color), etc. Whether you are qualified or not seems to be secondary.

      Good training ground

      Principal engineer

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good place to begin a career and excellent introduction to working for a large company with industry standard processes. Depending on your initial assignment, it can lead to solid career advancement. Benefits compare nominally with other aerospace companies of similar size. Excellent PTO benefits for young employees, good 401k, no retirement plan. As of 2014, no profit sharing program for IIS, although small monies are available if your peers submit you for awards. On balance, a good place for a fresh CS grad to start, but middling for other disciplines such as engineering, business. This location is heavily focused on SW development with systems engineering another large emphasis. Systems engineering is implemented similarly to Lockheed with a heavy emphasis on requirements development, following a process, powerpoint slide creation and little to no actual engineering. Many work groups and low level managers treat team members with respect and value their views and contributions. There is a strong commitment to diversity, which may work for or against potential employees.

      Cons

      Advancement depends on who you know, whether they like you (similar to most companies) and whether your current assignment happens to be on the critical path. Like most huge companies, you are viewed primarily as a unit of labor and visibility to management is limited due to a matrixed organizational structure. On some programs uncompensated overtime is mandated due to poor program bidding - be sure to inquire about this during your interview. Nationally the company provides significantly better advancement and compensation opportunities than in the Denver metro area. For those willing to move, this could be a good career option. For those seeking management, the company offers a decent career track. For those seeking a technical career, look elsewhere as you will be squandering your time here.
