The company is not what it once was

Ipt lead

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The people and immediate team are always awesome and supportive, this is what keeps you there for as long as you do

Cons

A lot of the positive reviews are probably from before the merger (2020). Now it is incredibly and painstaking obvious that this company is in shambles. The merger is not a merger of equals but a takeover of a commercial company trying to run a defense company. The people pay the price when it comes to poor communication, pushing out senior leadership who have been there their entire careers, changing their minds on decisions they make, poor compensation, delayed responses. Forcing people to do work outside their degree and functional discipline. Do not get a job here.

Pros

Most people are nice to work with.

Cons

Severely underpaid. Terrible build times. Terrible management of projects. Unreasonable deadlines. Expect to wait hours to compile code and run tests. Tools are often down. Tests often don't work. I don't think I learned much coding wise. Have to work in the office if working classified stuff. All my coworkers complained about being underpaid and not enjoying the work.

Extremely Poor Communication from HR

Leadership development program (ldp)

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Program has competitive pay and the rotations could expose you to multiple business units to get a good feel for the company.

Cons

Had an offer from the company for 8 months contingent on graduation. Graduated with honors and a month later, less than 48 hours when I was expected to start, the offer was rescinded last minute. HR claims they will work with you and be flexible on assignments, but it appears that is not the case. Communication was very poor. I had to initiate contact multiple times only to receive vague answers until the final "chat" was scheduled which turned out to be a rescinded offer.
