Cons

Gov't contracts can have issues. Make certain you understand your contract and what your day to day job will be. I have been on several contracts and some government contracts can require you to interface with difficult governement clients who are unfamiliar with their needs or want you to provide "face time" as oppossed to challenging work. You want to be seen as a consultant, one who advises, as oppossed to a contractor who is sometimes brought in to fulfuill a specific and narrow task in scope. Find out who the client will be and what the situation is at client site.

Pros

It’s highly dependent on your team and contract, but personally the people I worked with directly (including my managers) were excellent - smart and driven people. It’s a large company so there are plenty of resources available if you seek them out.

Cons

Rigid review structure that limits and delays promotion opportunities despite successful delivery on contract.
