Pros

Possibilities for field work with field pay. 9/80 schedule. Leisure pace on schedules. Facility is nice but nothing new to anyone coming from a large tenured company.

Cons

The company is still Orbital ATK. I'd expect years to pass before senior management gets phased out with new leadership to drive company goals to stay competitive in industry. Work culture - There is favoritism for departments and they are spoiled. Not high pace, good for someone who wants to settle down. Takes years for things to develop and progress is slow. Outside ideas are not accepted due to people spending their entire careers working here and have a strong mentality of "proven" and "heritage" which means it worked in the past so don't change it. PTO system is lacking, no sick leave. Rewards are low. Possibility for more money with Bravo Awards but not utilized often enough.

Pros

Not much pros but talented coworkers.

Cons

I joined expecting a long-term career and initially had a positive experience. Unfortunately, the culture changed significantly after leadership transitions. Micromanagement increased, decision-making became highly centralized, and employee morale steadily declined. Many experienced employees and managers left during my time there, making it difficult to maintain continuity and trust within the organization. The work itself was meaningful, and I had the opportunity to support important projects with talented colleagues. However, recognition, career growth, and employee retention did not appear to receive the same level of attention as process, reporting, and management oversight. My layoff was communicated as unrelated to performance, which was appreciated. However, after years of contribution and institutional knowledge, the overall experience left me feeling that employees were viewed as replaceable rather than valued long-term assets.
