Pros

The pay and benefits are the only thing making it worth working here, until I find something else.

Cons

The culture here is the most toxic environment I have ever been in. Flat level management, has given many people the idea that they are in charge, when they are in fact, not. There’s hardly any accountability and certain individuals feel they can do as they please. The way new hires are trained and treated is unsatisfactory to any other place in the industry or any non-industry place I have worked. If you do not fit in well with the team you are placed on, you are going to have a rough 90 day probation period. Many of the young, early 20-something’s (who can is a majority of the workforce) act like this is a fraternity and with no checks and balances in place, they get away with sitting back and playing on their phone most of the day and hardly do any of the work that needs to be accomplished. Do yourself a favor and just go find a job working anywhere else, save yourself from stress and headaches.

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.
