Pros

9/80. Strong technical depth and breadth.

Cons

Poor balance of promotions/accolades given to hardware engineering relative to systems and software. Engineers do have as much power compare to IPTLs and Program Managers, and Finance. Everyone are slaves to Earned Value management instead of product development and sound engineering.

Pros

Great entry level company. You will learn a lot on the job. There is a lot of opportunity for career movement.

Cons

Slow-paced (could be a pro for some people) Lots of "red-tape" / paperwork Management is questionable. Couldn't land prime contracts and over committed on some proposals. This led to massive layoffs.
