Pros

Programs are very good to experience and to learn from. This company creates a powerful and diverse skill set of engineers at its arsenal: -Systems Engineers -GNC Engineers (aka Autonomous vehicles engineers, could pass for software engineers as well) -Software Engineers -Mechanical engineers -Electrical engineers -Network engineers Etc… -Seems like the work will be stable, this is never guaranteed though -9/80 schedule

Cons

-No promotions -No incentive to work harder and get better -Low morale -Depressing work environment at the Tucson location -You can feel the vibe from the engineers , they are depressed and fed up -I also noticed many of the engineers are either overweight or skinny, why don’t you guys work on your body, it shows respect for yourself and makes the company look better, not to mention you make more money when your fit and confident. This will in return make the company more money.

Pros

9/80 and every 2nd Friday off, generous vacation time.

Cons

The company is 100+ years old and functions almost entirely on inertia. Senior Management is totally disconnected from the day to day, and it shows in the content of their "community" video meetings. They talk about diversity but have no interest in applying it. Most of the time they totally ignore the needs of their disabled employees.
