Pros

Interesting products that give you the feeling of supporting the WarFighter. Lower level employees truly try to support each other.

Cons

No work life balance unless you are in Engineering. Management just does not care about the lower level employees or even the long term employees. They lay off life long employees (25+ years of service) with zero concern. Unless you are part of the "Inner Circle (good ole boys club)" they look for ways to get rid of you. They terminate without cause to avoid paying unemployment. They consistently cutback and layoff to save money that was wasted due to poor Management decisions or Program issues. Their focus has shifted from customer satisfaction and more importantly Quality of the product to an attitude of do whatever is necessary to get it out the door and sold off to the customer. To quote another contributor, "Human resources "business partners" (generalists) are clueless at this company and only cover their own ...." This is a completely accurate statement.

Pros

This is a great company whose current leadership is amazing. Senior leaders who sincerely ask your opinion, engage you in asking what your ideas are for change, give you tools to accomplish, do not look over your shoulder and most of all do not act like they know everything. I heard the corporate HR VP say "Seek out and hire the best people you can find and then get out of their way!" I love this company!

Cons

There are obstacles within any big company. The keep is that with a little work, a small and friendly line of questioning, most of these obstacles can be overcome.
