Pros

3 day weekends. Management is clueless about software so if you wanted you could basically do nothing and still get paid

Cons

Management is clueless so they cannot help you grow, you must be self motivated to able to grow and learn. 25% people actually do anything, 25% are noobs, 50% are worthless. If you are the good 25% then you stuck doing all the work and then get criticized for not doing more.

Pros

They try looking for best fits when in between projects. Some managers are very receptive of feedback.

Cons

Some projects rely on very old technology. Sometimes, the neurodiversity is difficult to handle.

Pros

Good 401k and benefits relative to other defense competitors. Been fortunate to have flexible work from home arrangements. Have had plenty of opportunities to branch out and learn new skills.

Cons

Have had bad experiences with incompetent team members. Often feel like marketing/sales mentality dictates over engineering principles. Over promising, under delivering feels like a common trend.
