Enormous waste of talent

Principal software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The work can be challenging and interesting, and the projects are meaningful: they affect the safety and effectiveness of our military personnel.

Cons

Financial floundering leads to knee-jerk layoffs, sabotaging morale and causing talent flight. Large military programs are frustrating because they can be way too complex, are managed using inefficient waterfall processes.

Past it's peak...once upon a time a great company with excellent potential, its future foiled by poor management

Business Outlook

Pros

Good salaries, great benefits, great people, excellent legacy product set. Outstanding training programs, six sigma culture, once resource and expertise rich.

Cons

Milked legacy products. Overlooked customer changing needs. Minimal new development or innovation. Missed its window of opportunity. Currently a high risk work environment in terms of retaining remaining jobs. Many lay-offs with more possible.

Business Outlook

Pros

The flexible time is really nice (Core hours are 10 to 3 Monday thru Thursday), Nice 2 person offices, Decent pay: (Close to the Average), Fun and challenging projects.

Cons

Generally, cannot work from home (sometimes with Managers permission). While pay is average, for most employees, it is low for the higher performers. Due to the nature of our work, there may be long stretches of "bug fixing" which can reduce the morale.
