      Pros

      Great employees, great customers and a lot of foreign military sales contracts to support.

      Cons

      The management is unethical, discriminating with the good ol'boy way of thinking. I went to HR to discuss a Procurement Integrity Act complaint that I filed. I was immediately bullied, interrogated and threaten with being fired due to the compliant was against a highly respected Operation team member. I had to send an email to my MGMT when I started and stopped my lunch break. Hours are 7:30 am to 4:30 pm and no flexibility consideration is given if you have children or school to attend to. They record you work time when you unlock and lock your computer which is generated on a report that is reviewed by HR. When it came to annual performance evaluations, I was dismissed on all my good merits because I would unlock my computer everyday at 7:33 am. Salaries are the lowest in the geographical area for all labor categories and promotion rates (especially for women) are the lowest I have ever seen.

      Pros

      HQ seems to genuinely care about it's employees. Doing what's possible to boost morale and ensure employees have whats necessary to do a good job.

      Cons

      This type of management is NOT being trickled down to the satellite offices. Issues are hid by lower managers and all attempts to have the issues resolved are futile. Company as a whole seems to not understand the contract that we are currently working on. The contract should have been reviewed and nitpicked by ALL managers to ensure the job needed to be done would get done.

      Unethical, poorly managed, and mostly out of control!

      Pros

      For a period there were good people working there, but most of them left because it was the smart thing to do. Large enough company to move upward and have some autonomy in your position or group, but this was held on a tight leash.

      Cons

      Extremely questionable, definitely unethical, and probably illegal practices occurring. Even with reporting to internal controls, it didn't seem to make any difference. Senior management does whatever they want and ignores the "right" way to do things, only looking out for themselves, their boy's club, and their income. When working with foreign entities and governments, be cautious in trusting the leadership that they follow the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. They are teaching those who stay how to break the rules (to one day fall in their place!)
