The benefits package is pretty standard for large defense contractors. The company pays about 70% of the health insurance premiums and the employee picks up the remainder. The 403b (essentially equivalent to a 401k) plan is really good. The employee contributes 5% and the company contributes 11%. It's hard to beat that!

The retirement packaging is unheard of. The medical/dental/vision are all top tier. They really take care of you.

IDA has an amazing benefits package. They contribute the equivalent of 11% of your salary to your retirement account while only requiring you to contribute 5%. They also offer health insurance, education assistance, and a host of other benefits.
