      Pros

      Good name recognition and industry respect for working there. It shares engineering best practices across commercial and defense units. Health benefits and 401(k) are good. Continuing education benefits are 100% prepaid, send transcript with a B after semester is over as proof.

      Cons

      Starting salary is lower than other defense companies. A lot of the engineering staff is getting old. About half of them should retire or be demoted from an efficiency standpoint. There's no more pension for new hires. The unions in WA and CA are killing corporate bottom lines, and trickle to corporate financial reports, which trickle down to non-union employees. Advancement opportunities from within was difficult.

      Pros

      Work-life balance has been great at the Long Beach site. My coworkers are very considerate and supportive. Benefits suck as parental leave and 401k, Roth 401k, and mega backdoor Roth make it so you can really get ahead in terms of retirement building. They are trying to get better in culture and performance rather than some companies that don’t even pretend to care. During the pandemic there was no training. Now there’s some!

      Cons

      Base pay can be slightly lower than other companies for specific skills. Each site and each organization within each site has its own culture depending on who is the VP/executive team. There are so many executives it’s hard to get things done. Things move very slowly.
