Nice Place to Visit, but Cap It at 5 Years
The benefits are great.
If you're lucky enough to get into the right program, the technology can be very advanced and a great learning experience.
EVM and Chargelines.
Great for project engineers and CAMs, but keep this away from the design engineers.
Managers don't like dealing with EVM, so they push it off onto any engineer that is unlucky enough to need a chargeline.
Very slow to change and adopt new technology.
Money for capital expenses or software is untouchable.
Can't get full-time or part-time technicians.
Chargelines! When a project hits a stop-work, management is never prepared. You will see engineers begging for chargelines or using up vacation and sick leave while management scrambles to dig up chargelines. It's a terrible situation for skilled engineers to be put in.
Please don't hire the interns. Large companies like this are not good for young engineers to start out.
Leverage the union guys rather than hire new technicians. The union offers very skilled labor. People complain about the politics of dealing with the union, but their high level of technical skill far outweighs the political headaches.
