Business Outlook

Pros

It's a company with a great reputation in the defense/aerospace industry, and a long history of innovation and invention. The pay and benefits are centerline, but management does have ability to reward performers with incentive payments, raises (past 3 years raises total 30% of salary 3 years ago) and other awards.

Cons

Long hours, the "get it done mentality" and the "we will deliver" mantra, no matter what the costs or problems.

Pros

I enjoy the people that I work with. Good compensation and benefits

Cons

The projects and technology are not that exciting. Lots of people are involved in a program and you sometimes feel that you are lost. Hard to transition to other positions. Not sure if there are opportunities for advancement.
