Pros

Get to see some cool stuff but ultimately, an aerospace company here to serve stake holders

Cons

Cut benefits to their education program mid school year with less than 2 months notice to find funding elsewhere. Then held a webinar where they failed to see how severely this impacts their employees. Regardless if you were in a approved graduate program you are now limited to 10k/yr which covers about 2 courses. It’ll take something like 8 years to complete a MS at that rate. Also still trying to enforce the 2 year retention liability if you took any sort of assistance even if you drop out cause you can no longer afford school with the NG backing. I would expect there will be some legal issues coming soon. Pulling a bait and switch on your own employees is not a good look.

Pros

Job security, nearly impossible to get laid off, Hours for most people are consistent, generally a good benefits package. You are able to jump around laterally within the company very easily. Once you get to T3 and above the salary becomes decent for prime standards. Easy, almost non-existent interviews.

Cons

Not moving fast enough in the current defense market. Lots of red-tape. Turnover at specific sites are insanely high. Promotions take forever and the increase in salary is minimal. They don't care about retention. They will let you walk and give your replacement a sign-on bonus and a higher salary. There are a lot of slackers and old timers riding it out till retirement. Only about a 1/3 of this site is actually productive. Yes-men get into management and ignore technical experts. Agile hiring is a huge issue where people are just thrown onto random teams. Easy, almost non-existent interviews allow people without relevant backgrounds to join teams. Every site operates completely differently.
