Pros
-Very flexible work schedule; not only 9x80 availability, but rolling mod time allows 3 week bank of time above/below 40h for any personal needs -Having SAP or TS = guaranteed job security -Compensation is fairly high for actual deliverables
Cons
-Matrix organization poster child. You will never meet all the people on your 'team'. Ever. Toss all the 'soft skills' interview questions out the window, there is zero teamwork at a defense contractor, especially this one -Incredibly (and questionably) top heavy; I currently have 1 supervisor and 3 managers, only 2 of whom even know I exist -95% of the engineers are EEs, which is good on some levels but can also be challenging, especially when trying to bring in outside/new problem approaches -Very business-cultured engineering company; pictures of executives all over the hallways and webpages with everybody doing whatever they can to become the next E88 or PM. Zero mentoring or assistance for others unless it is directly beneficial to one's own self-interest.
