Pros

It's a huge company, working for great projects and on large systems. It grants a secure monetary income. It gives the opportunity of changing the working area without change the company because the products goes from software for the government to military software/instrumentation

Cons

Selex ES has a very very poor carrier progression in the technical area, usually an engineer has a single step progression after about 4 years, and then it probably stops. Even the salary it's sometimes below the average and bonuses are rare.

Pros

There is not one pro I can think of.

Cons

The culture is extremely toxic and divisive. There is a clear preference shown toward Italian employees over U.S. employees, which creates an unfair and frustrating work environment. Communication is often unprofessional, with frequent yelling, finger-pointing, and disrespectful comments. Management has failed to establish clear roles and responsibilities, leading to constant confusion and conflict between employees. Engineering leadership appears heavily driven by favoritism and routinely treats employees with a lack of professionalism and respect.
