Defense is usually complacency

Pros

The name of the company is good and they have a really good further education program for grad school. They also have extra courses that is catered towards your job and more taught but other good engineers. I do believe if you want to go into RF this might be a good place to learn plus co-workers will likely be some of the smartest people you can work with. There is a café area with food that is pricey but is great if you were to forget your lunch.

Cons

Outside of the benefits of working within defense along with being within the RF field that's where the Pros ends. A lot of the workers are the older managers would bully and belittle their team. Since the company moves at a snails pace, it might not be worth it to stand up to them. The technology you would be working with is extremely dated, so be aware you would likely be complacent within the software world if you're not in the RF field. The place is can be great if you are on projects that has a large budget but if you're in testing/sustaining you would barely have any budget to do your job. My advice, if you're not a pure hardware engineer you won't be learning much in terms of stay relevant within the field. If you're fresh out of college, it would be a good place to go while you look for another job or transfer within another team based on your interest. The pay within the company would not be great compared to being within the commercial world.

Pros

Every other Friday off, and the week between Christmas and New Year's

Cons

Outrageous career development - you are advised to apply for other jobs if you wish to get a promotion; very rare to see promotions in place unless you're friends with management Terrible health insurance Abysmal Human Resources Crushing bureaucracy and red tape Extremely slow pace of work with nebulous results Depressing, disgusting facilities with zero incentive for anyone to go in every day

Pros

Great work life balance. Remote work at senior levels is available. Great 401k match.

Cons

Leveling can be based more on who you know rather than what your role is. Salary increases are low compared to what other companies seem to be doing.
