Not a bad company to work for, but large disconnect between upper management and employees.

Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive salary (for Tucson), large networking organizations and events, flexible tasking.

Cons

Annual raises are not competitive, they seem to favor external hires over internal promotions, upper management admits to an attrition problem and says they are working on it, but it seems nothing is being done to incentivize employees to stay with the company.

Business Outlook

Pros

Big company, after the merger it's top 3 defense contractor. Rather stable, although it depends on contract/program you work. Generally benefits/compensations are on par with other competitors

Cons

Can easily get complacent, process heavy and the process is not necessarily efficient nor beneficial either. Typical defense contractor vibe - get things done when it gets done. Many young generation people do not adapt well to the laid back pace and leave within a year or two for better pay/work environment. I left because I couldn't deal with the non-sense anymore and for better pay.
