Pros

Biggest, best defense contractor in the USA. Large-scale Science-fiction to reality conversion in progress daily. Challenging, interesting work abounds here at all divisions. Pay is top notch. Benefits are very good.

Cons

Company dynamic results in frequent relocation of workforce. 45 hour workweek is now standard per company documents.

Pros

I was treated very fairly by most of my supervisors, and I consistently received above average performance appraisals.

Cons

The turnover in middle management often leads to a lack of continuity. For one stretch in my career, I reported to about six different managers within just a few years ... in the same job. Also, some programs and business lines are too narrowly focused on a single government customer.

Pros

Really good pay and benefits. Flexible work life balance. The senior / director levels really set the tone for a program. As a result, some programs are more fun, easier to handle the challenges then others.

Cons

Constant layoffs for last three years. System of layoff includes "bumping" which is laying off people who's jobs still exist because there is another "more qualified" person who can do the job . Management at Sunnyvale Space Systems is poor. Team work is poor. Laziness is rampant. Team dynamics are poor. Very insular culture.
