Business outlook
Pros
Interesting, unique work. Flexible schedules. You get to experience really awesome space programs, whether for defense of scientific purposes.
Cons
Bureacracy, good old boys network. Very long design cycles - 10 plus years for a project. The company is full of middle management. Not much opportunity to advance quickly. Promotions mainly based on years of experience. Difference in compensation raises for excellent performers and average performers just fractions of a percent. Expect two to four percent annual raises, no bonuses or stock options. Be prepared to spin your wheels not doing much for years. Can be frustrating if you like to accomplish tasks.
