      Struggles, but Growing

      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.

      Be cautious when considering this company, unless you are an engineer.

      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.

      Pros

      Family oriented, unparalleled benefits, excellent leadership, good rewards and recognition, small team environment. Company believes in work/life balance. Comp time is tracked and is treated as time you take off whenever you wish. Company sponsors numerous external company events throughout the year to keep all of the employees and families involved and socially integrated. Compensation is higher than most NASA contractors that I've worked for in the past. Benefits are incredible. Senior management is composed of people that are widely respected in their fields.

      Cons

      Working within NASA and ESA ever changing budgets. Communication between small teams is very good now but could be even better.
