Pros

They have a big campus. Seems pretty hard to get laid off. Work life balance is important. It’s possible to grow in your career if you are proactive.

Cons

Crackdowns on return to work and flexible schedule. Feels like management makes poor decisions and treats engineers like they are hourly. Not a lot of truly creative work being done, would have to go to another company. They don’t expect much from you but the pay also reflects that. You can’t get a raise without moving to a new role,

Pros

if you need to start your career here or don't really like pushing yourself then work here.

Cons

company likes to police personal lives of employee with "code of conduct" policies which have minimal bearing on the workplace; they are bleeding talent because they put "culture" over talent. company doesn't create a results first environment and care more about a participation trophy culture than results with due to kickback contracts in collusion with Department of War.
