Pros

-Great work schedule -Great benefits -Good pay -Great locations to choose from

Cons

There was no congruency across the organization. Had a fantastic experience in Tucson and had great reviews. Transferred to El Segundo for a new position and they had no work and management was not flexible to let you utilize other skills you have--subsequently I received poor ratings as I was new and had no work. As a Mechanical Engineer I had done a lot of software and electrical work (was a former manufacturing electrician and IT tech) and my department actually took the work away from me and made me sit on overhead. People at the California site don't work together. Due to the amount of layoffs over the past 10 years people have become very paranoid and will throw you under the bus even if you are performing. Everyone there is just scared for their job. Its a sad situation really. Its a shame because I really enjoyed the industry, but when there is no work for your group...get out. I made the mistake of waiting it out and I was laid off.

Pros

Interesting projects, products, and a lot of nice people at the working level.

Cons

Employees are treated as commodities. I was laid off 2 weeks ago. After being told on a Monday morning I had 2 hours to clean out my office and turn in my badge. I had a lot of work on my project and was being asked to work overtime. The program manager could not believe I was being laid off. There was no plan for anyone to pick up and cover my work. It was a complete screw up. My section manager was calling me the week after my layoff asking me how to find the data files I was working on.

Pros

Salary is good but managers are untrained in workforce labor laws and policies. Reverse discrimination by African American managers is wide spread and grossly overlooked.

Cons

All department managers are allowed to follow different policies for work/life balance.
