Pros

- Commitment to inclusivity and diversity - Some managers really care about finding the right fit/opportunities for their people - Some WFH

Cons

- Pay. Way under market value. - Classified work means most engineers can't WFH - If you aren't on a classified program, there are limited opportunities to advance - Attrition rates are through the roof - They're bidding for more work when they can't staff the programs they have - Expect to work overtime. Always. - Poor planning - It takes forever to get cleared, but then they don't have a place for you to sit or a computer for you to use of a job for you to do when they get you - Morale, expect a dumpster fire of stress and panic - Don't believe, "Leadership is looking into it." Leadership is busy filling leadership positions.

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.
