Vantaggi

I worked here (Space Park, Redondo Beach) for most of 1995 to 2017 (originally it was TRW, bought by Northrop Grumman in 2002). To this day, I still think the benefits are very good; there are many choices for medical, everything from premium PPOs to HMOs to opting out entirely (which some people do if their significant other has better benefits through another employer). Sure, it's probably not as generous as it was back in the 1990s, but where is that true today? Also, management always treated me pretty well, and there was always some emphasis on life/work balance - some people took that more seriously than others, but if you weren't obsessed with rapidly shooting up the corporate ladder, it was always acceptable to have other priorities besides just work. And with a company this size, there were a lot of different opportunities, so I never got stuck in the exact same role for years on end.

Svantaggi

I was in satellites, and ever since Northrop bought the company in 2002, I've noticed a slow decline in the space side of the business (in favor of the much larger aircraft side). There are many more opportunities in aircraft these days, and I started to get the sense that corporate management wasn't all that interested in winning a lot of new space business anymore (just not nearly as much $$$ to be made as there is in military aircraft). So if you're interested in the space side of things, opportunities here seem to be much more limited than they were 12-20 years ago.

Vantaggi

Job security, nearly impossible to get laid off, Hours for most people are consistent, generally a good benefits package. You are able to jump around laterally within the company very easily. Once you get to T3 and above the salary becomes decent for prime standards. Easy, almost non-existent interviews.

Svantaggi

Not moving fast enough in the current defense market. Lots of red-tape. Turnover at specific sites are insanely high. Promotions take forever and the increase in salary is minimal. They don't care about retention. They will let you walk and give your replacement a sign-on bonus and a higher salary. There are a lot of slackers and old timers riding it out till retirement. Only about a 1/3 of this site is actually productive. Yes-men get into management and ignore technical experts. Agile hiring is a huge issue where people are just thrown onto random teams. Easy, almost non-existent interviews allow people without relevant backgrounds to join teams. Every site operates completely differently.
