Pros

Flex ible hours, ability to work remotely when family commitments require you to do so and challenging work that requires you to constantly be learning new technologies. I work with very bright people that have different backgrounds.

Required to work different shifts to test software in limited number of labs that are available to a program.

A decent company to work for aerospace...not so much for software

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great company for work/life balance. Good amount of vacation, lots of work holidays (including a week shutdown during the holidays) 9/80 schedule allowed days off every other Friday.

Cons

Not a "fast-paced" work environment by any means. Behind the curve technology-wise (at least from a software standpoint) Workforce seems to be shrinking.
