Pros

The senior management is taking the company in the right direction, providing opportunities in many technical fields. Ship building,Electronic warfare,Unmanned aircraft,Stealth Technology,Refueling Tankers - with an internal transfer mechanism in place to apply for possitions on other programs.

Cons

The only downside in my view would be if your job moves to another location - you move with it.

Pros

- Big company so there's always opportunity within the company for career change - They have offices at desirable locations (San Diego, Los Angeles) - Work life balance is good. I never had to work weekends during my 6 years here. Most do 9/80 work schedule but depending on the program, you can work 4/10 work schedule.

Cons

It gets very political when it comes to promotions and raises. You rarely get compensated for working hard but rather on your *behind kissing ability. They have people at the manager positions with no credibility or skills, but for knowing the right people. I get that it's part of the corporate world but this company goes a bit over the board with politics. I've worked for other defense contractors and politics isn't as bad as here. I don't know, but I think having too many Asians at the company creates this weird politic culture (I'm Asian myself), That's just my guess.
