Pros

Ability to work advanced, high-technology concepts. Freedom to generate unique solutions with a minimum of interference.

Cons

Extreme bias within senior management associated with their previous military service organizations creating an inability to think outside of their former position conceived notions. Strong tendency to remove individuals of knowledge and expertise at 60 years of age in favor of much younger individuals without this knowledge or expertise. This procedure often created interactions with government customers where the younger employee would tell the customer at inappropriate venues that their conceived solutions were wrong or ill-conceived...something an experienced employee would never do. This often resulted in loss of trust by the customer and loss of future revenue.

Pros

Easy going, nice benefits, free further education (masters/PhD). Great for an engineer starting out who needs to dip their feet in the pool of engineering for a few years and to get a great 401(k) match at the start of your career (compounding growth). Great for late stage career due to the benefits and solid enough pay in a low cost of living area

Cons

pay-scale lagging, no emphasis on learning new things, no punishment for people who are bad at their job. After working for 4 years, I feel like I should have jumped ship after 2. I haven't been given meaningful work that really challenges me in a while. Now I feel pigeonholed into staying because I have enough years of experience that I really should be considered senior, but I haven't been given work that reflects what I senior engineer should be capable of. Now I'm trying to jump ship before it's really too late. If I stay here another 2 years I think I will be genuinely unemployable and will have to stay at this company forever.
