Pros

Good company with interesting work. Salaried, but with OT after 45 hours. OT included a small kicker in the calculation of what your hourly rate would be as non-salaried. Lots of opportunities to grow, and the folks working there love the company.

Cons

Salaries are okay for a software job, but not stellar. The technologies are fairly old, along with the normal, really slow movement of the defense industry to adapt to change. There's a typical big company barrier between executives and everyone not an executive, unwilling to spend money on tools and technologies that make work more efficient for employees on the ground level.

Advice to Management

Your employees love the company; listen to them. Really take the time to allow them to help improve the company from the ground up. There are huge wasteful practices that can easily be fixed by investing a small amount of resources in certain areas. Don't dictate tools and practices to your employees. Make your employees accountable for the company's tools and practices by making them active stakeholders in the decisions.
