Pros

Working at a Customer Location Long term work if desired

Cons

Since merging with United Technologies, the focus is no longer on the Warfighter We went from a company run by Engineers to a company run by Accountants We no longer seem to have a "Core" product (anything for a buck) Benefits have been drastically reduced Raises are minimal while Executives are getting large bonuses A great deal of organizational changes at the top Employee retention problems go mostly ignored Company has gone above and beyond in their attempt to appear "Woke"

Pros

9/80 and every 2nd Friday off, generous vacation time.

Cons

The company is 100+ years old and functions almost entirely on inertia. Senior Management is totally disconnected from the day to day, and it shows in the content of their "community" video meetings. They talk about diversity but have no interest in applying it. Most of the time they totally ignore the needs of their disabled employees.
