Pros
- good pay and benefits - solid industry - backed up by General Dynamics - quality products - if you like warm weather, and historical places, it's a nice area
Cons
- lots of "lean six sigma" BS used in non-applicable areas with people claiming millions of dollars saving while not taking the cost in consideration. - some department are toxic. Some people have been working in the test labs for more than 20 years and refuse to see "new processes or ideas, because we have always done one way before and it works". Lots of backstabbing by these people. Instead of mentoring, they are destroying. Makes people insane. - company is now a corporate so it lost the "family feel". - promotion are based on time and not performance. If you are 2 months below requirement to get promotion, it will be denied by HR. So why going the extra mile ?
