There is a steep integration curve, and often more work than time, but plenty of people at all levels able and willing to assist.

Briefly describe your overall experience at your company

The available tools, resources, and processes do not support the desired cost, schedule and performance outcomes, forcing constant "surge" or herculean efforts to achieve any success. Too many mission-critical staff are beyond task saturation and represent significant single points of failure.

Briefly describe your overall experience at your company

I like the mission, extended team(s), program and engineering challenges. However, senior leadership's lack of operational realism and performance expectation mismatch are driving the workforce into the ground in an organization with plenty of key resource failure points.

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

The comradery and teamwork around common mission goals. Genuinely taking care of each other beyond the mission.

What is the best part about your compensation package?

The majority of compensation is within one standard deviation of similar size companies in the aerospace and defense industry.

What makes you most happy at work?

Contributing to the team. Successfully providing collaborative support to help my peers, subordinates, and staff complete their work.

What are some of the best things about your team?

Everyone gives 110% every day, with many volunteering to assist on short notice on tight timelines to ensure mission success.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Pay is not competitive for given experience combined with the continuously unrealistic & sustained time demands and herculean efforts required to complete an ever-growing list of urgent/high-priority projects and process.

What makes you most happy at work?

Working with the team to realize a novel critical capability. Knowledge that we are part of a pioneering team overcoming hard technical, program, and administrative challenges to provide others the means for their defense.

What are some of the best things about your team?

They are all professional, but personable team players. They are resilient under stress, and regularly demonstrate their mission focus, flexibility, and agility. They are able and willing to learn and grow as individuals and integrated teams.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Senior leadership continually creates conditions for program failure that require extraordinary effort to manage, mitigate, or correct. High degree of persistent task oversaturation forcing team to accept substandard solutions in order to maintain schedules and task volume/throughput. Fix = Hire

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

I took a pay cut for the current position, only to end up working longer hours to satisfy requirements at multiple levels for extended durations with no end in sight. An increase in my net pay and % investment matching for my 401K would be a reasonable offset.
