Pros
Good People. Competitive benefits like most large companies. There is an engineering union called ASPEP that gets a higher raise for their employees and some additional benefits. Like I said, the benefits are not the bestest but just competitive with other large corporations except for the added union benefits. There is flexible work schedules that can be negotiated with your management. Pleasant work environment. Work is diverse. I think career advancement must be an obsession for the employee if one wants to advance in the company. It will not be given and there are maturity rules and requirements to get promoted in the union for engineers.
Cons
Focus is on full spectrum leadership throughout the ranks. Senior management emphasizes diversity, but the makeup of the departments show clearly that minorities have a glass ceiling. Their technical director group all comprise of white males and females - There is almost no chance of a minority getting a position in this group. Some of my friends have tried but were turned away because of maturity reasons. There are many minorities at the team lead level, and some at FLM level. Not sure why this is the case, just based on observations. No Asian minorities at the senior management level. This company also has a bias with military academy graduates as oppose to civilian college graduates in management positions. All AEGIS related work only.
