Great place to start a career

Systems engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of different opportunities, different geographic locations, different skills to learn, products to work on. Experts in all different disciplines across the company. They pay for graduate school.

Cons

Easy to get lost or overlooked unless you're outspoken, marketing yourself within the workplace, or you happen to have a great manager. The company is not big on taking risks. The defense industry can be a somewhat stifling for creativity, new technology. Health benefits have gotten worse over the last 5-6 years. Salary is not as high as other industries. Corporate culture is all about "diversity" and other buzzwords and being politically correct.
