Pros

Lots of opportunity for travel, great medical, some paid overtime even for salaried employees, and lots of opportunity to move within the company.

Cons

Not a people company. You are disposable. Your development is not fostered by upper-level leadership. Schedule pressure is constant regardless of quality. Expect to move or experience a layoff because management of project schedules is common. Too much work at one site and then nothing for up to a year, and then hire 100 people at the same site. You will either sit stagnant at a position, move your family to a new site to grow, or due to layoff.

Advice to Management

Don't use policy as an excuse to let poor performers continue to drag down your teams. Only the best and brightest deserve to work for this company.

Retain your talent with development instead of hiring from outside.

Mismanagement of schedule is producing too much stress on your employees and a subpar product; don't be afraid to admit the bid schedule was in error.
