Pros

There is a lot to learn, many projects/programs are CMMI Level 5 so you will have great support in producing reliable, high-quality software. In St Louis, there is also an internal rotation program for software engineers so that they can move between projects in the St Louis site by doing a simple, informal interview. Work-life balance is supported, software engineers are paid overtime, and in general flex time is allowed. Work at home is also allowed for some projects.

Cons

The software engineering population in St Louis is aging. The staffing profile is top-heavy, and for this reason they have announced a freeze in promotions for most software engineers this year. Some of the software is older, so if you're looking for cutting-edge software technology you may or may not find it depending on what program you're working on.

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.
