Doesn't RecommendNegative Outlook
Pros

Good pay, relaxed pace, and industry-leading benefits.

Cons

Ridiculous amount of paperwork to get so much as a typo changed on a drawing. Very little to no actual design work. Spend 90%+ of your year in PowerPoint and Excel rather than CAD. Varies program to program.

Advice to Management

Stop deceiving new hires. Just tell them up front it's a relatively cushy position on a slow-paced program, but you'll have a good salary and amazing benefits.

Tell them up front the work is paperwork-heavy and design-light, and then win their hearts with compensation.
