    Good experience

    Apr 18, 2023 - Engineering Support Specialist II in Baltimore, MD
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Experience highly depends on your location and position. I spent 5 years with the company, in two different positions and locations. First position in New England was not a positive experience. Second position in DMV area was very positive. Team was very talented, and local management was very caring and support. Amazing environment to learn.

    Cons

    Pay was not aligned with industry standard and we were unofficially encouraged to work more than 40 hours. Work-life balance could have been a bit better.

    A stepping stone and nothing more.

    Feb 24, 2023 - Engineer 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    -Mildly flexible work schedule, highly dependent on team. -Coworkers, misery builds camaraderie. -Decent sign-on bonuses, with strings attached of course. -OK stability. -OK pay.

    Cons

    -Pitiful amount of PTO and paid holidays for new hires, even for the defense industry. Meanwhile, senior employees go on week-long vacations on a whim. -Pitiful raises. -No bonuses or profit-sharing. -Timecard system often encourages micromanaging. -Minimal training and mentorship. -People are allergic to communication, both inside and outside engineering. -Work itself is monotonous. -Volatile contracts means you will be shifted around a lot, or even be "encouraged" to take PTO when contracts suddenly run dry. -Next to no standard engineering practices or processes create a messy work environment, every team does everything differently. The fact that leadership gets shuffled around constantly due to the lack of staffing makes this even worse. -Witnessed multiple instances of sexist and ableist attitudes from leadership. -"Good ol' boys" club occupies most leadership positions, very little room for new talent and perspectives to rise up the ranks. -Company won't invest in meaningfully improving anything since it cuts into their bottom line, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality.

    1) Smart and engaged coworkers 2) Great work/life balance 3) Senior managers are approachable. 4) Can suggest ideas for improvement to senior managers 5) 100% matched 401K up to 6% of salary vested from day one.

    Cons

    1) Poor and dated engineering processes 2) Limited support when suggesting process improvements 3) Company appears to hire many more early career or new college graduates without work experience versus more experienced senior hires. 4) Experienced, senior employees train and mentor early career employees in parallel with ongoing project work. This can be distracting and cause a lack of focus.
