Pros
- Big company so there's always opportunity within the company for career change
- They have offices at desirable locations (San Diego, Los Angeles)
- Work life balance is good. I never had to work weekends during my 6 years here. Most do 9/80 work schedule but depending on the program, you can work 4/10 work schedule.
Cons
It gets very political when it comes to promotions and raises. You rarely get compensated for working hard but rather on your *behind kissing ability. They have people at the manager positions with no credibility or skills, but for knowing the right people. I get that it's part of the corporate world but this company goes a bit over the board with politics. I've worked for other defense contractors and politics isn't as bad as here. I don't know, but I think having too many Asians at the company creates this weird politic culture (I'm Asian myself), That's just my guess.
