Pros

Technical depth in the company is phenomenal, and training (if your K level mgr will approve it) is high quality and plentiful.

Cons

Unless you are a software engineer or working at Ann St you'll be producing paper. Lots and lots of paper. The most technical thing a hardware engineer will do is write the statement of work for the numpties in subcontracts so they can go and pay someone else to do the work. Unstable structure with the exec team playing musical chairs continuously. Big aviation focus in all the PR material and very little mention of the real engineering work done in Australia which is C3 or bolting bits and pieces onto US built aircraft. IJCS treats employees as interchangeable cattle with no real individualisation of roles or shaping careers on an individual basis.

Pros

OK benefits, 401k match is 50% but only up to 8% of salary, annual bonus about 3%. As an engineer, environment is 'sea of cubes', so looks at engineers as round pegs to fit round holes. Lots of opportunities to talk to others and look for other roles, so don't have to be 'locked in'. Agile is being pushed, but not gracefully or appropriate to positions or problems. Somewhat typical big company approaches to everything. Individual positions good or bad or in between, totally dependent on managers and colleagues so generalization probably impossible. Overall OK place to work, but not outstanding.

Cons

Salary seems soft, with very limited to no negotiation room in initial hiring. Past that, the usual steps. No longer any useful innovation reward for patents, etc. 401k match is small. Big pressure to save costs, but this hasn't really been extended to most intelligent hiring decisions or similar. Many people care a lot, but management won't take most improvements forward
