Great support, benefits, and culture, but lower salaries

Senior analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Terrific support, mentorship, and training from management. Good company culture and it’s an employee-owned company! Extremely good retirement and health care benefits.

Cons

Because the retirement and healthcare benefits are so good, the actual salary is lower than some expect.

Stable, if not Boring Company w/ Great Benefits

Cost analyst

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It is pretty rare to find an employee owned company in the defense space, and so if you have the chance to interview here, do it. Employer paid health premiums, 15% automatic retirement contribution (not a match- just free money) plus free equity. Work life balance is solid although it will depend on your team.

Cons

Salaries are low to account for benefits- you absolutely will get paid more for the same role at another company. Company is also a slow and careful mover. You will watch your stock options appreciate in value slowly when you know they could be going faster. But it is safe. Not much room to grow quickly without relocating
