Pros

Technical depth in the company is phenomenal, and training (if your K level mgr will approve it) is high quality and plentiful.

Cons

Unless you are a software engineer or working at Ann St you'll be producing paper. Lots and lots of paper. The most technical thing a hardware engineer will do is write the statement of work for the numpties in subcontracts so they can go and pay someone else to do the work. Unstable structure with the exec team playing musical chairs continuously. Big aviation focus in all the PR material and very little mention of the real engineering work done in Australia which is C3 or bolting bits and pieces onto US built aircraft. IJCS treats employees as interchangeable cattle with no real individualisation of roles or shaping careers on an individual basis.

Pros

Easy going, nice benefits, free further education (masters/PhD). Great for an engineer starting out who needs to dip their feet in the pool of engineering for a few years and to get a great 401(k) match at the start of your career (compounding growth). Great for late stage career due to the benefits and solid enough pay in a low cost of living area

Cons

pay-scale lagging, no emphasis on learning new things, no punishment for people who are bad at their job. After working for 4 years, I feel like I should have jumped ship after 2. I haven't been given meaningful work that really challenges me in a while. Now I feel pigeonholed into staying because I have enough years of experience that I really should be considered senior, but I haven't been given work that reflects what I senior engineer should be capable of. Now I'm trying to jump ship before it's really too late. If I stay here another 2 years I think I will be genuinely unemployable and will have to stay at this company forever.
