Pros

Lot of focus on the development of college grads through various Leadership programs - if you can get in, I highly recommend it Good training opportunities, but again mostly for the LP participants Decent benefits Good starting salaries Travel abroad if you get on international projects Opportunity to work with a lot of people within the organization Great networking opportunities Professional atmosphere Process-driven / organized, this applies to the reviews which are normally very structured Good communication and flow down of information from the top

Cons

Somewhat political, after completion of the Leadership program you have to figure out what it will take to get promoted or what your career path is going to be Only 2 weeks of vacation to start off with Some of the office locations are terrible (mold, old furniture, even mice) - like the Evendale plant Move of training from classroom training to online With flat management structure, managerial positions are very limited TON of work - always more than one can handle Big push for outsourcing even where it doesn't make sense at all Due to outsourcing, lots of early and late meetings - 7am is nothing unusual

Pros

The engineers who work hard and take themselves seriously are still working here and are great to collaborate with and solve problems. The projects are interesting, as long as your manager is considering your interests and career path. There are ample opportunities in commercial and military, with the commercial being more of a remote/Teams environment and military being more in person. Bonus structure is strong, 15%. Incentive pay for coming to work. Work life balance mostly depends on the job you sign up for.

Cons

Managers may not have come up through the engineering ranks and so they may not understand us. They focus more on process, like Flight Deck, than having actual knowledge to solve problems. The technical expertise in the sub section and especially section level has gone down in the last 5-10 years. This less technical management class seems to be impacting engineering turnover among the IC’s. Additionally, constant pivots, often due to inconsistent funding, also decrease morale. Lastly, it’s possible your manager doesn’t care as much about your career as they do just getting tasks done / covering the bases. Basically non-existent health care (very high premium and deductible for larger families). Biased hiring through Next Engineers.
