      Pros

      Relatively Good Benefits. Very flexible and accommodating. They allow you a good work life balance and allow for flex time and are accommodating if you decide to pursue advanced degree well working.

      Cons

      The performance review, ratings, and relative raises and promotions are really bad. It is not indicative of the effort or work you put in at all. Sometimes better managers will put in a good word for you and fight for your promotions. But in general most won't bother.

      Overall a good place to start your career here and a great place to work during the stability portion of your life.

      Pros

      It is a very good place for a college graduate to start his/her career, especially if he/she gets into the leadership development programs (LDP). LDP practically pays for a free graduate degree and the job rotations allow a person to obtain different experiences in about half the time as a regular employee. Also, LDP does provide exposure to upper management. Overall, the benefits are good. The employee costs for the health, dental, vision, and life insurance plans are much less than many other companies out there. The funds available in the 401K are great. The costs are fairly low and many options are available. The company match of 50% up to 8% of your salary is decent. While three weeks of vacation is pretty good, many other companies either meet or beat this number. The company is good with promoting and following life/work balance.

      Cons

      Not all business units are created equal with benefits that are not regulated by corporate policy. For instance, some businesses allow employees to telecommute and flex their time; many other business units do not. The performance review is based on a quota and not enough is made to differentiate the successful contributors. There really are people who should be fired for poor performance and incompetence that are labeled as successful contributors. Also, you pretty much have to earn new business or perform well on bad programs in order to get the higher ratings and raises (which can be used towards higher health care costs). No matter how sexy program finance sounds, you will not like your job if your program has a lot of earned value management (EVM) requirements.

      Pros

      Slow paced and easy to outperform coworkers. Reasonable benefits and paid vacation policy. Overall not a horrible place to work.

      Cons

      Noisy work environment (cubicles for all engineers). Perverse views on business: bickering with the government is incessant and makes doing good quality work difficult.
