Pros
Role Advocacy - The management here wants you to be doing what you want to do. It has to align with business need, but they will do their best to get you into a role you like Meaningful Work - Working on satellites that provide weather and defense intelligence is challenging and rewarding. Role Progression -The work is complex and layered. I love the amount of autonomy and trust given to me as an employee Work-Life Balance: Generous PTO and limiting yourself to 40 hours is encouraged, in my experience.
Cons
Salary Progression - During my time here, the yearly bump has been 1.5-2.9%. Promotional bonuses are also disappointing. It makes it difficult to see myself here long-term if I want to raise a family, despite Fort Wayne's low cost of living. Attempting to climb the salary ladder here is a quick route to being underpaid. Coming in at a higher level may yield more significant returns.
