      Company On The Decline

      Pros

      Good personalities to work with for the most part. The benefits are great especially if you are young. My advice is to get in and get them to pay for your degree and then leave. Work/life balance is great since there is very little required in terms of performance.

      Cons

      There are a considerable amount of people doing little or no work. The company is reliant on heroes that are running most of the projects and it burns people out and they leave. Knowledge sharing is non-existent. The pace is extremely slow. Work that is done over months is done in weeks at other companies. Many people are working full time while supporting another job outside the company due to lack of a challenge and boredom.

      Good start to career, no work life balance though

      Pros

      Really interesting work on the defense side of the business. I was on multiple teams working different projects. I was never bored with the work. I started long enough back to qualify for the pension plan. Pretty good benefits.

      Cons

      Nature of the defense business causes lots of red tape to get anything done. I spent more time on red tape than doing actual engineering work on a few projects. Being the only person on some projects resulted in OT and travel on short notice that took away from personal time. Health insurance benefits got worse annually. When I started it was the best I've seen. Hard to get promoted past level 3. They are saturated with level 4 and 5 engineers, so promotions to those levels don't happen often now. I knew there was no way to progress after I hit level 3.

      Patronizing, but with benefits, variety, and bright spots

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Wide variety of military and commercial projects, including rockets, spacecraft, airplanes, drones, and more. You can move around these product lines and the country. Although benefits have eroded, they are still generous, with stock for those selected for the Technical Fellowship, 401K matching, time off, profit sharing, charitable donation matching, comprehensive health insurance for immediate family, and more.

      Cons

      Male-dominated culture. Bureaucracy. Shabby office environments, lots of cubicles. Seattle area locations are far from the center. Rivalries between different locations and divisions. Layoffs.
