Pros

Decent company to work for to gain experience working in the defense sector. Paid overtime, competitive salary Management gives room to think and you can reschedule deliverables for the most part if issues occur. Good place for Co-op experience, first or second year.

Cons

Low vacation at 3 weeks, especially for senior engineer. Very risk averse, they follow the money trail in government contracts and deliver questionable quality even if they meet requirements. There progressing with new management, but it needs to move faster. Still using a Union with dues, really?? Career is pretty much set in stone for defence industry if you stay longer than 2-3 years.

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).
