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.

Great work-life balance, 9/80 work schedule is ideal. The teamwork within my group is what I look forward to when coming in.

Lots of focus on EPS and FCF, which can be overwhelming at times.

Pros

The work is engaging, and can be cool. It's definitely advanced stuff and you'll learn a lot here.

Cons

Massive attrition across the business points to serious issues with upper management. It's nearly impossible to advance in your career. They will not counteroffer. They continue to take benefits, some of which are still advertised. Feels like people are pitted against each other far too often, and most feel taken advantage of. For the wrong type of person, this place can prove too stressful. For me this has resulted in several severe medical problems, which have forced my hand in leaving.
