Consider opportunities with BAE Systems at company primary locations - Principal Systems Engineer BAE Systems Employee Review

Most site support a 9/80 work schedule for various reasons, but this is good for the work/life balance. Again most sites, consolidate planned paid holidays to support a payed break between Christmas and New Years. Compenstation has been pretty good for me through the years. BAE System has a large enough presence in the US for relocations if you desire, and has a larger number of people in other parts of the world, for those that want to move.
