Pros

The company is growing and generally seems to be finding its way in to new markets. The work was challenging and sometimes fun. There are some great people there.

Cons

There are some lousy people there. It really depends upon the group you work in. I respected about half of management and couldn't trust the other half. Information that would help in the job can be strangled by a "need to know" environment within some groups.

Pros

Nice people in entry and mid level positions who obviously care about producing quality goods and services. Engineers are highly sought and valued.

Cons

Poor management decsions regarding annual raise reviews: Management paid out full bonuses when goals were missed by 30%, allowing executives to get full bonus. Within weeks, company laid off more than 50% of defense focused employees. Poor Leadership in most areas of Test and Services division. Significant cronyism within division executive circles, which were ignored by corporate executive team in VA. Extremely poor transition when merging 2 small companies into one. Policies were not equally enforced between major sites.
