It's great, if you don't care.

Software engineer, senior

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Big company makes it easy to get away with doing the bare minimum.

Cons

No investment in the employee. Average raise for a middle tier rating is 1.5%. 20% overtime is expected. Management will actively block attempts to move to other areas that may interest you more. Program management is unethical and regularly submits underbid proposals in order to bait-and-switch customers. Engineers are not empowered to make basic technical decisions, to the point that vital lab equipment is often purchased on the employees dime because getting approval for a $10 cable purchase takes 6 months.

Great for college grads and retirees

Senior software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Relatively lots of opportunities to learn for college grads. Very stable for people looking for places to retire at or just turn the crank for years.

Cons

Stagnant technical opportunities for mid-levels: once you do something, you do it until you die, change jobs or retire. Despite of what management will tell you, there is NO way to change assignments once you get settled in. Also, salaries are super-stagnant: in 7 years of working I have never seen someone who is not straight out of college get hired. They simply can't afford professionals.
