Decent Company Overall

Pros

Nice new work area. Flexible work hours are a plus. They're seem to be a lot of new opportunities available there.

Cons

Very cheap in some areas. Little to no mentorship when you're first coming in. Sometimes meetings and mandatory training are sometimes expected to be done on our own time.

Pros

Low stress. Decent pay for little work expected of you while awaiting clearance.

Cons

Waiting for a security clearance(can take up to a year). Not a lot of exciting development work available for people awaiting clearance.

Pros

Ten years ago I would have had something put here.

Cons

This company used to strive to be the "Employer of Choice". Now they strive to be average, because average is cheaper. Because Raytheon has acquired businesses, there are many different retirement plans. Mine had a pension accrual rate increase between the ages of 53 and 56. They laid me off at age 53. I was told that I was being laid off because of work slow down. I looked at the spreadsheet my organization uses to track workload. There was more work than there was people to do it. This is backed up by the fact that my former organization opened new job listings, with exactly the same skill requirements has the position I had before my severance period ended. (And no, they did not seek to recall me.) Every employee has to take a class annually that reminds us to be ethical. Do you think the above reflects an ethical company?
