Vantaggi

I worked in one of the Utah locations within Propulsion Systems. My team was the best part of working there and the cafeteria staff were the sweetest but that's about it.

Svantaggi

The number of cons is endless, but my biggest gripe is how I was lied to during my interview about the culture of the company and the work life balance. On work like balance: You are expected to sacrifice everything to get the product out the door. Don't get me wrong, I'm no stranger to overtime and working hard but to be constantly threatened with being fired or laid off simply BECAUSE I didn't want to work more than 50 hours a week (yes that's the normal amount of overtime expected) is insane to me. They say that you can flex the time off but most of the time everyone is so shorted staffed that you really can't. THERE'S A VERY HIGH YOU WILL NOT GET COMPENSATED FOR YOUR OVERTIME. It's no wonder that there's such a high turnover rate for both operations and engineers. Well honestly it's either the excessive amount of overtime or the extremely toxic culture. On company culture: It's so unprofessional I could laugh. Everyone is so openly aggressive and refuses to help or answer any questions. On the small chance, someone MIRACLOUSLY decides to help you, all their answers come out as aggressive and condescending. At any other company, they would be FIRED ON THE SPOT. It's one thing to point out someone's mistake, it's another to belittle them as a person. We're working on rocket motors for crying out loud, you think people would have more understanding. With all the tensions between the different departments, it was impossible to get anything done. Don't even get me started on the lack of training.... Seriously no one knows what they're doing. Honestly I'm not surprised that there's such a high turn over rate. Closing Notes: Accepting this job was the biggest mistake of my life. The amount of frustrations and stress placed on me in my time here sent me to the doctor more times that I could count. If you ask anyone, they'll say the same thing. People openly talk about how they're unhappy with the company and they way they're being treated. I wouldn't wish this company on my worst enemy.

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.
