Business Outlook

Pros

Awesome company to work for with tons of really cool projects if you end up in the right group. Great pay compared to other huge contractors as of the last few years. For context, a move to Raytheon would have netted me an effective 50% pay cut, accounting for cost of living. I loved my time there and would go back if I could.

Cons

It has all of the classical megacorp negatives. Stuff moves slow sometimes. IT can be a pain in the butt or straight up unhelpful.

Big pay, bureacracy, and lack of enthusiasm for new technologies

Software engineer senior

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of job security with good pay and benefits. Potential for career growth with emerging programs everywhere. The software engineers are usually very sharp and great to work with.

Cons

Due to living in the shadow of the ancient THAAD program, IT, IA, Cyber, and Safety teams are behind the times and often not willing to listen when it comes to emerging technologies. Some of these people have been here since the beginning of time. There's lots of bureaucracy with people standing in the way of innovation of new technologies, and you will hit constant blockers with trying to implement new tools or methodologies which would prove beneficial in a professional environment.
