Business Outlook

Pros

Co-workers are intelligent and engaging. Many talented and smart people here.

Cons

Employees - most talented employees are underutilized or just overworked, and greatly unappreciated. You can get pigeon holed quickly by many managers. Level 5 management - a joke. Same people, different management roles year after year, its like a giant pool of nepotistic dna with line level management. Upper management - out of touch with reality. Couldn't be further removed from it than they are, almost like they have no original ideas and can only turn and run in the same direction other companies do - trend based management.

Pros

Work life balance is great. Get the job done, but on your schedule. Salary and benefits are good. Feel like your doing something meaningful.

Cons

Work with ancient technology. Can't upgrade, can't try out anything new. Advancement seems to be based on quotas, or time served, but certainly not on contribution. Encouraged to develop homogeneous code. New ideas are not appreciated. Spin a lot of time on framework code.

Pros

-Flexible in taking PTO whenever you like. -There are a lot of young engineers to form a nice social group.

Cons

-Ladder and ranking system to determine promotions and merit raises. Promotions and merit raises are determined in the previous year (ex: For 2009 year, ranking is determined Nov/Dec 2009) before performance reviews/summaries are written and conducted during (ex: For 2009, Feb 2010) for the previous year. Instead of making everyone's salaries the same, award the top performing employees better raises. -Expand educational assistance to allow engineers to obtain MBA degrees. They are the only top 4 aerospace defense contractor to restrict employees to obtain MBA degrees. -Not much flow down from section managers about job positions in other existing projects within the company in case your current project is ending and phasing out.
