Pros

Great programs, great pay & benefits, and good work-life balance.

Engineering staff are a hard-working, good bunch of people for the most part.

It's a nice, stable place to work if you get on a long-term program.

Cons

The company is no longer run by engineering. Bean counters rule over all.

The company is in the midst of a purge of the highly paid, senior people. Benefits are being chipped away at year after year.

Healthcare costs are slowly rising, while the pension went away in 2016.

Advice to Management

Keep good employees on board. Laying off senior engineers in one department while hiring new kids in the next department over is a short-term fix at best. All the time and money spent to train experienced employees is being forced out the door.

More info sharing between programs. One program is struggling for qualified people while others are laying them off. You cannot tell me that somebody could not get the program managers together in a room for mutual benefit.
