Pros

Awesome benefits, can't find better or even a match anywhere. The choice and low cost of health plans alone is a huge plus. Generous tuition reimbursement, 401k, employee discounts, etc. -- all great. Also, pay is pretty generous for the market. Quite competitive. And you can feel proud about working for a company involved in some great things like the International Space Station.

Cons

Every division is so different. The division I'm in is just awful as far as morale. The head of our division is a jerk, and it's easy to tell that we're all just a number to him. Ironically, I feel like upper management (way above him) is much more respectful and values us more, but unfortunately they let "Napoleon" run things however he wants - and he wants numbers, numbers, numbers. People just get in the way.

Pros

Work-life balance has been great at the Long Beach site. My coworkers are very considerate and supportive. Benefits suck as parental leave and 401k, Roth 401k, and mega backdoor Roth make it so you can really get ahead in terms of retirement building. They are trying to get better in culture and performance rather than some companies that don’t even pretend to care. During the pandemic there was no training. Now there’s some!

Cons

Base pay can be slightly lower than other companies for specific skills. Each site and each organization within each site has its own culture depending on who is the VP/executive team. There are so many executives it’s hard to get things done. Things move very slowly.
