Pros

Opportunity to work on airplanes and having a large group to support you if you are unsure of what you are doing. They treat the interns very well and allow you to see a lot within the company. Many areas to move to within the company including the defense side.

Cons

Unions and the large environment will lead to very slow change. Not enough emphasis on Lean. The current strike shows how the union and company can not get a long. there is no sense of team work between the two and they really need to bring that back and remove the union from the equation.

Pros

Your coworkers are, on balance, very enthusiastic about the work. Most are space enthusiasts which seems to keep the moral levels up even if the work becomes monotonous (which isn't often) or the hours are long (which can be often). The total compensation is above average and there are a wide variety of specialties, from a technical career perspective, to choose from if you are interested in moving broadening or changing your career path. If you like variety in your work, this is a place to consider. Working with space systems means you work in an unpredictable environment where the ability to think on your feet is a must.

Cons

Many departments are understaffed. There is little time for training and knowledge capture. These may not seem like negatives to some. However, it's a field that requires constant learning and growth. The environment we work in doesn't foster that. As an engineer in the first 4-6 years of your career, it's particularly difficult. You are left to your own devices to gain knowledge and experience. It slows the skill acquisition process. On the other hand, if you are self motivated and have the ability to learn on your own, your efforts will be recognized and you'll advance. The bottom line is that you will have to trade off general engineering growth to focus on the needs of the work at hand if you want to get ahead.

Pros

Learning Together Program paid for the MS & MBA. Insanely great benefits, I have a pension--who outside the gubmint still has that?

Cons

This is a static/ shrinking industry that remembers when it was a growth industry. Those times are gone, but the business is still run the old way. This company is run like it was still 1965.
