Pros

It really is all the same whether it's Northrup, Lockheed, Raytheon, etc.

Cons

Huge company; managers seem to focus more on whatever current corporate lingo they have been instructed to use than common sense.

Pros

Name recognition. If you can become part of the inner boyz club, can do quite well. Large company with offices domestic and international. Good educational assistance program for undergraduate and graduate schools.

Cons

1. Employees treated as numbers. 2. Employee career growth and aspirations are lowest priority for management, despite their rhetoric. Although some internal professional development is available, the quality of instructions and courses are at best mediocare. 3. PRS (Annual Performance) goals are intentionally very vague to allow management to assign any rating they feel without clear recourse for the employee to challenge. PRS ratings are mostly unfair, unless you are part of the inner click. 4. Old boyz network protecting management turf and is mostly incompetent. One of the most top heavy company I worked for; layers and layers of redundant management, producing very little. 5. Managemnet focus is only to save cost and maximize profits at the cost of employee layoffs and else. Low employee morale and attrition rate high even in recent bad times 6. Even though a large company; the opportunity to move within the company as well as career development is limited and hindered by personal politics and favoritism. Employees bid for jobs in the same way as someone applying from outside the company, almost no employee loyalty. 7. HR is a tool for the benefit of enforcing bad management policies. HR nearly always sides with management against employees. 8. A push to move very young inexperienced ELDP candidates to management positions instead of seasoned mid-career professionals 9. Company hires solid candidates from name brand schools, and it promises much at the time of hiring, but delivers very little to its employees. This resultis in attrition. HR knows well about the real causes of attrition yet it consistently fails to acknowledge the real issues of attrition. 10 Lastly they have cut cost on their health insurance benefits coverage. It will now cost significantly more and will cover less!
