Program Manager

West
US Air Force, O-5

As far as my experience with Orion, I would call it short and sweet.  I attended just one conference.  At the end of the conference, I heard the closing remarks from the CEO of Kratos.  Afterwards, I spoke their HR Vice President. I told her what I was interested in, and she gave me her card and asked that I send a resume. 

A few weeks after I sent my resume, the phone rang.  Kratos said they would like to talk, which led to my hiring.  My advice to other candidates is to keep an open mind at the conferences, talk with everyone you can, including fellow candidates, and be patient, because companies move at their own speed.
