Pros

Benefits are fairly solid with up to 4% match on 401k contributions. Their bonus program is weak for level 1 and 2 employees. 4 weeks vacation (160hrs). Which is great. Flexibility to switch teams due to the size of engineering projects. They give a nice raise every year between 1.8%-3.5%

Cons

There is an overarching sense of security or keeping things secure, it makes sense why but it's a pressure you don't realize is there until you think about it. They have no clear defined path for promotion, you just have to perform and hope your manager is in a good mood. This isn't the case every time but it's definitely the case.

Pros

My manager is great and understanding. Lots of career growth if want it.

Cons

People point fingers rather than find solution. Team is not cohesive. Spend more time arguing and defending yourself than working.

Pros

Co-workers are great and the job itself is pretty easy to learn and grow at. Lowkey angst job, great retirement job.

Cons

Hiring manager plays favorites and isn't in tune what your job is so when you bring him problems and possible solutions he doesn't want to help solve the problem just push it on to you.

*4/10 flexible work schedule but flexibility may depend on manager or project lead *Many engineering roles offer WFH flexibility (mine included) *Managers are respectful of your choice move around the company *Job security

Cons

*You're contributing the military-industrial complex at a significant capacity, so as long as you're aware of the geopolitical implications of your work here may determine your sense of responsibility

Bureaucracy and Politics

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting work with the opportunity to learn a lot

Cons

Working in one of the headquarters in Orlando or Dallas is filled with politics. Many additional levels of middle management that really have no clue what is going on and really only are looking out for their interest make it hard to get support for initiatives. A lot of times you will be the one with ideas for direction, and then your out of the loop manager will try to silo you and keep you from getting to the right people. A lot of politics, and ego. Don’t outshine the master. If they don’t get their act together, they are going to be outcompeted by the numerous smaller startups in the space.
