Pros

nobody expects you to work more than 40 hours a week. If you are just looking to cruise through life and make a decent living its not a bad place. They used to have an awesome tuition program for continuing education, but it has been scaled back.

Cons

Not challenging, be prepared for layers of systems engineering bureaucracy, I engineered nothing but paper work. The place is a sinking ship with uncompetitive products run by old fogies that think because the place was innovative in the 70's they can lay back and relax. Non-compete government contracts are the cash cow that keep this place afloat, so managers are big customer butt kissers. definition of the military industrial complex

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.
