Pros

Great benefits. Very interesting, challenging, and changing work environment. The market for the UAS product is in very high demand. Rewarding to know that our product is having an impact in global events. HR does a good job in acting as an employee union. Workplace is non-union, which I view as a positive.

Cons

Lower pay. Vertically orientated management structure. Reading government resports, it seems that the company needs to flatten its manangement structure. Not enough input from workers is taken by senior management. Poor communication between departments. Needs some improvment on processes, making them same way everytime. Tribal knowledge is everywhere. People seem to hoard information to preserve their usefulness.

Pros

Knowledgeable engineers and technicians, great learning opportunities, good training

Cons

Not so much of a CON, but you get thrown into the fire as soon as you're hired. Very fast paced.

Pros

9/80 work schedule. Benefits are decent. One of the few comapnies that offer a pension in addition to 401k.

Cons

Too many management layers. Promotions seem to be based on who you know, and if you fit into the right "clique". Some promotions are being given to managers with no experience in the function. Executuve leadership appears out of touch with their employees. Example - Chaotic games have been played the last 3 years with remote and hybrid work policies.
