Pros

Great for early careers when you want to have exposure to various functional areas; if you're able to do rotations you can acquire a robust set of skills. Lateral moves are much easier and if you're willing to re-locate you can progress nicely and have a long career here. Schedule options such as Flex 40 and 9/80 can add to work/life balance but are dependent on your business unit.

Cons

Progression is based on who you know, not what you know or true merit - many are under leveled due to inadequate funding on programs to support a higher level. Resources are only provided to the more successful and lucrative programs. The company is more geared towards engineers/tech folks and more functional workers may need to go outside to progress. If you have advanced degrees, not much funding is provided for additional training/certification unless required by the customer. Use of comp time varies from program to program - you can work 60-80 hr weeks and get nothing for it.

Pros

Great place for entry and mid level resources. There are flexible work schedules, and the ability to work remotely, the program allows it. Great mentors, and experienced employees that are always willing to provide advise and motivation.

Cons

Work is feast or famine, meaning work can be extremely slow at times, but when the work is there it seems that you have to work around the clock to get is all done.

Pros

Stability within industry Work-life balance 9/80 schedule Opportunities to grow professionally through a plethora of training and related activities

Cons

High stress levels due to inefficient yet REQUIRED processes More "managers" than "leaders" in mid level management positions Antiquated HR promotion system which is based on "years of service" relative to performance Retention issues among junior workforce Easy place to become complacent due to minimal rewards for good behavior and punishments for bad behavior
