Pluspunten
TL;DR interesting work & good people - Huge umbrella company, easy to move to other units(they moved almost my entire team to Bell after losing a contract) - Management values results & individual contributions - Very enjoyable projects - Fantastic coworkers - Room to shine in responsibilities beyond your job title & learn - Very cheap health insurance(~30/mo for single person) and excellent benefits overall. I am lucky to have a good boss. His shielding of upper management’s stupid decisions alone keeps me from giving it a lower rating.
Minpunten
Absolutely abhorrent upper management. Their direction has led to what feels like constant rounds of layoffs and a revolving door of talent. - Far too many levels between individual contributors and business unit leadership. - Absolutely no money spent on retaining talent. - Out of touch work from home policy that nobody listens to - Zero horizontal integration. Land/Sea/Air are completely distinct and share nothing. There is an active effort to change this though. - Hinted at bonuses/compensation for overtime work, then hit most of those people with layoffs/moves - Oh, and no annual bonuses. Pay is pretty good but not what you’d usually consider “defense contractor pay”
