Fantastic work vs. life balance One week paid vacation between Christmas and New Years. In general PTO accrues very fast. Great location if you want to live near the beach Flex-time is always a plus Overtime is minimal, if not non-existent

Cons

Underpaid Talent level for skill fields is weak Drab work environment Heavy emphasis on "punch-in, punch-out" discourages employee collaboration and mingling Competition amongst different business groups working on similar projects Very corporate

Pros

- Decent salary. - Good benefits package, where it offers many choices for medical healthcare plans, and vision & dental are included. There's also a 401K plan. - Fair amount of PTO and paid holidays. - Younger crowd is fun and great to work with. - Large amount of diversity promotion and various events to make things more enjoyable at work.

Cons

- Too much pressure at work. Can be stressful most of the time. - Expectations from management are often times unreasonable. - Not much training for newer people. - Not much respect from senior employees toward younger ones. - Many unreasonable idiosyncrasies such as having to work overtime without getting overtime paid unless coming in on the weekends. - Working with outdated technology that are not useful anywhere else.

Pros

Really flexible working hours. Really professional engineers and managers. Laid back people and understandable. Tuition reimbursement for school (doing my masters).

As in every big defense company, it is hard to change things around. Have to get approved in order to work extra time.
