Pros

Great place to get experience. Get to work with some very talented people

Cons

Dysfunctional/toxic work environment. Everyone is always stressed. Several people went on stress leave over recent yrs. No vision to improve the workplace. There is lots of work but are always under resourced due to people leaving. They are unable to replace the talent that has left. Lots of pressure to meet unrealistic deadlines/schedules.

Staff appreciate the job stability, good pay/benefits relative to the Aerospace & Defense industry, and highly professional engineering teams. Many report a strong sense of purpose and trust in their immediate colleagues.

Cons

On the downside, some reviewers cite a top-heavy, process-oriented management structure, occasional disjointed communication across departments, and strict, high-pressure deadlines.
