Pros

Good pay, mostly good management, opportunity to work on a wide variety of projects, good benefits, opportunity to learn a lot. Depending on the project, an opportunity to travel - or not, if you don't want to.

Cons

The opportunity to work on many things comes at the cost of working at a huge company that operates like a battleship. When it works, it can do some impressive things (like build planes). But all the red tape means it takes a lot to get anything done (i.e. like buy a PC).

Pros

Work-life balance has been great at the Long Beach site. My coworkers are very considerate and supportive. Benefits suck as parental leave and 401k, Roth 401k, and mega backdoor Roth make it so you can really get ahead in terms of retirement building. They are trying to get better in culture and performance rather than some companies that don’t even pretend to care. During the pandemic there was no training. Now there’s some!

Cons

Base pay can be slightly lower than other companies for specific skills. Each site and each organization within each site has its own culture depending on who is the VP/executive team. There are so many executives it’s hard to get things done. Things move very slowly.
