Pros

Good company with interesting work, salaried but with OT after 45 hours, OT included a small kicker in the what your hourly rate would be as non-salaried. Lots of opportunities to grow, and the folks working there love the company.

Cons

Salaries are okay for a software job, but not stellar. Fairly old technologies along with the normal really slow movement of the defense industry to adapt to change. Typical big company barrier between Executives and everyone not an executive. unwilling to spend money on tools and technologies that make work more efficient for employees on at the ground level.

Pros

Easy going, nice benefits, free further education (masters/PhD). Great for an engineer starting out who needs to dip their feet in the pool of engineering for a few years and to get a great 401(k) match at the start of your career (compounding growth). Great for late stage career due to the benefits and solid enough pay in a low cost of living area

Cons

pay-scale lagging, no emphasis on learning new things, no punishment for people who are bad at their job. After working for 4 years, I feel like I should have jumped ship after 2. I haven't been given meaningful work that really challenges me in a while. Now I feel pigeonholed into staying because I have enough years of experience that I really should be considered senior, but I haven't been given work that reflects what I senior engineer should be capable of. Now I'm trying to jump ship before it's really too late. If I stay here another 2 years I think I will be genuinely unemployable and will have to stay at this company forever.
