Pros

9/80 schedule, no real expectations from management for quality work, as long as the "paperwork/documentation/requirements are solid." Benefits/pension plan are ok.

Cons

Boring, not good experience. Outdated technology across the board. Stereotypical "government urgent" deadlines... Low pay, minimal raises and almost insulting bonuses.

We employ some of the world’s leading scientists and engineers and we pride ourselves on our advanced technology. We are investing more all the time and we hope you’ll contact your management directly if we’re not providing what you need to excel.

Pros

Good working environment Exciting projects Great coworkers (for the most part, like any place)

Cons

Like any maturing company, it has become more and more top-heavy, placing more and more emphasis on project management and milestones, sometimes over bread-and-butter engineering. I could have half the PMs I have now and do a better job
