Pros

The hours can be flexible depending on where you work and who your boss is. The location of the facility is about 20 minutes from downtown.

Cons

Management. Management is really the major problem if this company. There is hardly any communication between seniors and subordinates. If there are layoffs, you aren't noted a head of time so you can plan accordingly, especially if you have family. For two or three years, the company has been reducing it's staff to "remain competitive" yet the company is still not competitive. When I started, BAE was number 3 in top defense contractors in the US and that number has feel sharply.
