Pros

Chance to work with talented people.. Process oriented culture Time-off from work, for personal duties

Cons

Share most of the views posted by other commenters.. 1. Incompetent Engineering section managers (anointed early in the career, but don't have maturity to deal with employees).. 2. Too much focus on initiatives that go nowhere most of the times 3. Use forced ranking to deny salary hikes. Poor performance management system. 4. You got to be part of good old boys club, other wise the management wouldn't mind throwing you under the bus 5. No respect for the hard working exempt employees - Management worried about short term and their bonus. Culture of getting work done with fear, retribution.. 6. Salary/benefits don't stand out compared to other competitors

Pros

The engineers who work hard and take themselves seriously are still working here and are great to collaborate with and solve problems. The projects are interesting, as long as your manager is considering your interests and career path. There are ample opportunities in commercial and military, with the commercial being more of a remote/Teams environment and military being more in person. Bonus structure is strong, 15%. Incentive pay for coming to work. Work life balance mostly depends on the job you sign up for.

Cons

Managers may not have come up through the engineering ranks and so they may not understand us. They focus more on process, like Flight Deck, than having actual knowledge to solve problems. The technical expertise in the sub section and especially section level has gone down in the last 5-10 years. This less technical management class seems to be impacting engineering turnover among the IC’s. Additionally, constant pivots, often due to inconsistent funding, also decrease morale. Lastly, it’s possible your manager doesn’t care as much about your career as they do just getting tasks done / covering the bases. Basically non-existent health care (very high premium and deductible for larger families). Biased hiring through Next Engineers.
