CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits: vacation, 401k matching, medical and good pay. Engaging, challenging work, lots of different kinds of jobs and opportunities for growth.

Cons

Work environment is very dependent on the business unit and culture of a particular program. Some programs are fast paced and modern while others are slow paced, very bureaucratic, highly political and outdated. Depending on the program you could be working on the latest tech or you could be working on very outdated tech from legacy projects.
