      System Manager

      System manager
      Current employee
      Houston, TX
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Work with NASA, work / life balance, good paid time off, good medical benefits, and hybrid work schedule

      Cons

      Average 401(k) matching at 3.5% for 6% contribution

      Great PTO and health insurance, but limited advancement

      Great pto & health insurance

      Cons

      Good team, benefits lacking

      Systems engineer
      Current employee
      Houston, TX
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Good immediate team and management. Able to work on interesting projects and the NASA team I work in is amazing. Good work/life balance, focus on health and safety, and coworkers look out for each other. Technical work is rewarding, and there are multiple prototyping shops at Amentum and NASA to use. Good focus on promoting internal ideas for initial funding.

      Cons

      Pay: I had to do aggressive negotiation to get a competitive salary, Raises are underwhelming, no bonus. Benefits: 401k is basic matching, good fund selection. Health insurance is lacking, moderately expensive and on the lower end of benefits. Tuition: Have not been reimbursed yet, continuing service agreement and length of service requirement for each course. Administrative: Multiple conflicting policies exist and no one knows which one is correct. Months long tickets for reimbursement, travel approval is obscenely hard to get. Links are out of date and nonexistent for intranet pages, policies, and training courses. Travel expenses are nitpicked to the point that time spent on the expense report far outweighs the expenses. Multiple systems with different login credentials.

      Business outlook

      Pros

      I have been trying to list the pros for working on a contract with Amentum in Nevada for a while. The only two true pros I can list are as follows, the mission is very important, and cool. And the health benefits were decent.

      Cons

      Leadership at multiple levels is inexperienced and lacks the knowledge necessary to effectively manage operations, which contributes to poor transparency and consistently ineffective communication. There is a severe pay inversion, with regular security officers earning up to approximately $130K annually while Lieutenants and supervisors earn closer to $110K and are restricted from receiving raises greater than 10%, despite carrying substantially greater responsibility and liability. Workloads and hours are excessive, with little consideration for work-life balance or supervisory burnout, and frontline leaders receive minimal to no meaningful support from senior management. The workplace culture is toxic and divisive, driven largely by senior leaders who appear primarily focused on self-interest and personal bonuses tied to contract award fees—reportedly ranging from $30K to $80K for program managers—while lower-level supervisors receive bonuses as low as approximately $100. Senior-level supervisors show little interest in the contributions or concerns of lower-level leaders, instead prioritizing self-promotion. Additionally, serious ethical issues, including reported sexual harassment complaints, have allegedly gone unresolved. The firearms training program is severely deficient, with meaningful qualifications reportedly not conducted in years and without appropriate government visibility or oversight.

      Pros

      The pay can be nice The work is easy and mostly repetitive

      Cons

      Down side with the pay: blackout days when we don’t work due to weather you will have to use your pto or go without pay. Pto is very limited your first few years at the company You will get worked hard depending on the shift you work. While the work is easy it is repetitive Management will make your time miserable unless you are a favorite. You have to walk on eggshells with some of the management because you never know their mood. There is very limited chance of advancement you will see buddy hires. Have heard site lead say he doesn’t care if anyone leaves he will hire out of special program people so he doesn’t have to worry about paying health insurance incentive.
