Pros

There are many great co workers that are very helpful if you are starting in your career. The benefits are great. It works on the 9/80 schedule, so you get every other friday off. The scheduling is also very lenient as you can take time off whenever you need to. You also get two weeks off at the end of the year, around december time which is one of the best benefits.

Cons

Senior management seems very disconnected and does not care about the workers. They don't understand what goes on in the engineering side, and cares just about the money, not about the quality.

If at all cost, avoid Raytheon Missile Systems if you are looking for career growth, opportunity, and market pay.

Pros

9/80 Work week - Flex Time

Cons

Negotiate the best possible salary when you first start working here otherwise your career is limited as the company doesn't allow individuals to easily move to another position the may be qualified for because of the existing paygrade. Company doesn't seem to want to promote from within - - - they hire new hires off the street and pay them substantially more money and managers flat out tell you to quit a year and then come back if you are wanting more money.

Pros

It's a decent job for a big, stable company. They do a lot of military as well as unclassified work, so there's some opportunity to move around, laterally. You'll have an opportunity to get a security clearance doing that, so that's a help. But there's never any time to review lessons learned, it's always just "on to the next project".

Cons

Upper management seems to think we all care about quality, but middle management only cares about making the contract bonus. I'd love to do a better job, but when management bids an 18 month task to be done in 14 months, with a bonus if it's done in 12 months, well guess what? It's done (poorly) in 12 months.
