Avantages
Every other Friday off because of a 9/80 schedule. Flexible hours depending on your manager. Security is taken very seriously.
Inconvénients
Parking is awful, if you get to work after 8:00 you’ll have to walk a mile to get to your work area. Pay is high for the area and according to Lockheed “adequate,” but you can make significantly more elsewhere. Facility is really depressing without any type of natural light or windows. Younger software engineers will have a tough time, most of the decisions made on teams come from 20+ years of experience employees with functional programming and poor software design. Lack of younger engineers makes it hard to enjoy being at work. Everything is tied to charging a contract, if there is an event for learning that would be beneficial to you as an employee, you will be forced to do it on your own time and not on company time. Work is not technical enough to keep most young engineers, as my work has become a simple “copy and paste” job without any need of computer science fundamentals.
