Pros

A lot of high skilled and talented employees in ALL areas Great pay and benefits Wonderful vacation time

Cons

Really odd purchasing process, take way to long to buy something Different organizational units are completely out of sync This company of 600 is run likes it's a company of 100,000, NGC/Lockheed and Boeing are more efficient and have less red tape Program management here is very weird, extremely inefficient, can't seem to make decisions. Everyone is passing the buck.
