Pros

Health Benefits good peers and work with interesting technology

Cons

Ball used to be a place you wanted to work at for your whole life. Now it is a place you should to avoid. Over the years management as a whole has gone from former peers becoming leaders to external hires being demanding bosses. Management won’t talk to you unless they are giving an order or wanted to know why your not done. If you have ideas, keep them to yourself; what management says goes, and that’s final. If you are a hard worker, you will be ran ragged and burnt out in no time. While you put in the extra hours and weekends, management will pat themselves on the back for how they “ran” the team when a project is completed. Hard work means nothing when it comes to raises and promotions, if you want a raise or promotion; office politics are the only thing that matter. It’s who you know and socialize with, not the work you do. Only apply here if you have no where else to go, and while you are here look for employment elsewhere. The less time you spend here the better off you will be.

Pros

Amazing mentors, fantastic work life balance, and challenging and interesting work. Best place I could’ve asked to launch my career. This could very well be group/department dependent though, I think I got super lucky there with my manager, mentors, and team.

Cons

Almost all benefits got worse after BAE acquisition.
