- Stable-ish (as of 4/2024) - Good work life balance - 401K Match for First 8% - Generous tuition assistance - Quite honestly it's better than any of its competitors in terms of compensation, culture, work, etc. but that's also a very low bar.
Contras
- Low pay - Health plan is awful - Each program has its own funding, making it feel like you're a contractor as opposed to a FT salaried employee - Program dependent but a program working on contributing a net positive to the world using exciting technology is few and far between - Allergic to Remote work, despite the fact that it can save the company millions - Allergic to unclassified work - Allergic to new changes overall - Allergic to meaningful retention tactics AKA INCREASE COMPENSATION - A lot of overhead and hoops to jump through in order to get something done - Awful yearly compensation increase, which is dependent on the Business Area's goals met -> ex. Space can make the company over $1 billion in revenue but since it only reach 95% of its goals, the employees get only 95% of a 4% max bonus. At the inflation rate of 7%, this is absolutely insane.
