Pros

The senior management is taking the company in the right direction, providing opportunities in many technical fields. Ship building,Electronic warfare,Unmanned aircraft,Stealth Technology,Refueling Tankers - with an internal transfer mechanism in place to apply for possitions on other programs.

Cons

The only downside in my view would be if your job moves to another location - you move with it.

Pros

Not much pros but talented coworkers.

Cons

I joined expecting a long-term career and initially had a positive experience. Unfortunately, the culture changed significantly after leadership transitions. Micromanagement increased, decision-making became highly centralized, and employee morale steadily declined. Many experienced employees and managers left during my time there, making it difficult to maintain continuity and trust within the organization. The work itself was meaningful, and I had the opportunity to support important projects with talented colleagues. However, recognition, career growth, and employee retention did not appear to receive the same level of attention as process, reporting, and management oversight. My layoff was communicated as unrelated to performance, which was appreciated. However, after years of contribution and institutional knowledge, the overall experience left me feeling that employees were viewed as replaceable rather than valued long-term assets.
