Ventajas
No pros for ATK overall. Some people like 9/80 schedule. Since most of us are waiting to be laid off, it is easy to do other errands during day.
Desventajas
There are 2 categories of employees here. Those that have been at ATK for around 30 years, and the others with less than 10 and almost nobody between the two. Just a year ago, ATK had a number of younger motivated engineers that were great contributors. Corrupt managers laid them all off and kept dinosaurs because it is ole boys club in its ugliest form. The only thing that matters at ATK is number of years you spent there. You can be totally useless, they will still keep you because they just know your family. ATK is make up numbers type of company. They lie to customers. ATK did not design a new products for least 3 decades. They have been running only sustainment type of projects. If you stay at ATK for long time, your skills will deteriorate, and you will be incapable of working anywhere else. Same with managers. Managers and dinosaurs engineers are like one entity. The only thing they know is micromanagement on steroids in order to steal someone's else ideas or design. ATK in Clearwater is pathetically controlling environment where employees have no freedom and control. Even for small tasks here, it takes too long with too many people involved. HR is non existent except when they lay someone off. Employees that are still there are extremely unmotivated and teritorial. Everyone is waiting to collect severance.
