      Pros

      Touching things. Being able to look at a schematic with out contract negotiations. Having defined processes which are actually followed. Having entrance exams to weed out applicants. One management structure. No matrix organizations!!! Working with other links in the chain because they have a name and face. Helping to improve the USA and her allies kill ratios. Working at a defense contractor which operates the way they used too. Unlike the ones which Ike saw come out of WWII and warned us against. NO EVMS!!!!

      Cons

      Growing pains. Several systems/processes are relics of a smaller company. Oddly, NGC does do a few things better.

      Pros

      9/80 work schedule. Benefits are decent. One of the few comapnies that offer a pension in addition to 401k.

      Cons

      Too many management layers. Promotions seem to be based on who you know, and if you fit into the right "clique". Some promotions are being given to managers with no experience in the function. Executuve leadership appears out of touch with their employees. Example - Chaotic games have been played the last 3 years with remote and hybrid work policies.
