Pros

A wide variety of programs and products and some very cool technology development Good processes and engineering discipline in most cases Competitive benefits....but eroding lately

Cons

Obsessive emphasis on short term results is causing big cost cutbacks and some of the best employees are leaving Centralization of functions is causing bureaucracy and slow decision making (ie. sys eng.) 3 top leaders are out of touch

Pros

Good work life balance Projects matter for our war fighters Most co-workers are competent and dedicated More work than people, and moving to other engineering jobs is possible

Cons

Some numbskulls seem to get into senior positions. A "Consolidation" of buildings is underfunded, poorly planned, and drives chaos. The push to squeeze every nickel of efficiency means that there isn't always money for equipment or team building events (below the VP level).
