Changes in defense have led to an austere and difficult environment. Older generations are obstacles to advancement

Senior program manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work with some of the best and brightest engineers in the country. Learn good processes.

Cons

Defense industry is shrinking. Company seeks large and expensive programs and growth is stagnating. Little investment has been made in securing needed future capabilities. Company leadership is shortsighted, not aligned with DOD new way of doing business, and old generations (who should retire) prevent younger more capable leaders from advancing. Good company to start working for and leave.

Weakleadership, questionable ethics

Program manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The professional and technical services business unit works with very good clients. The work was satisfying and employees have a reasonable degree of latitude and autonomy.

Cons

This business unit had weak leaders with questionable ethics. They were concerned about the short term, which often led to hiring/layoff cycles.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits, pension, 9-80 work schedule, flexible hours, option to work at home when needed, at least they've finally realized what a joke the "employer of choice" tagline was

Cons

Political, IDS-IT used to be a good place to work but now it's become a sweatshop, layoffs a regular event, they say they care about the employees but don't believe it
