Pros

Great people and technology. As a private company, it's nice not having the pressure of Wall Street.

Cons

Company has grown a lot and fast over the last 5-7 years. Systems, processes, and people need to be developed, improved, and matured. Government contracting has many rules.

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
