Business Outlook

Pros

Get to work with really smart people who are passionate about what they do.

Cons

Because of security clearances you can sometimes not know exactly what you're going to do until you do it. The office space for the majority of the workers at the Sand Lake road plant is just horrible. Packed 6 people into a 3 person cube, and and some of these areas are in a trailer with horrible air flow and a wonky ac unit. Not telecommuting friendly at all even though they promote it. Parking is a nightmare Pay is low for engineers compared to similar companies
