Pros
There are some good eggs here and interesting clubs to entice the younger folks. Helpful on developing patents on some things. Put great amounts of effort and money to try and get employees recognized/ awards at conferences.
Cons
Unfortunately do not seem to care much about individual contributors much anymore as shown in various ways by management and leadership. Listening to older crowd only on some things, but shut down on others, especially for big issues that they want to sweep under the carpet. Have also heard from some of my new mentees that it is frustrating having been brought in under the impression that they are coming into a great place to work with the ability to “define possible” but then have things such as edassist cut to a minimal amount (which is no longer true with Raytheon bumped back up to $25k after their merger). By not providing the building blocks and not putting in effort and infrastructure to help document heuristics from us, it makes it difficult for future employees. Huge need for mentorship within teams without an education supplement opportunity. Also heard about acquaintances who were treated terribly as they started looking elsewhere/ tried to leave which does not encourage people to look fondly about possible coming back one day after having gotten the knowledge elsewhere. Supposedly they would be more open about salaries in 2021-22 but have heard from those in management that some folks who are minorities are grossly underpaid as well without a sponsor.
