Pros

Good benefits such as 401K matching, pension, vision, etc. Most locations/department have good management. There are a lot of different groups, so it does make it easy to transfer to new positions. Lots of opportunities for advancement.

Cons

Is partially dependent on government contracts, so there could be reductions if the government decides to cut back on their programs.Also, since there are a lot of different groups, it is possible to end up in a group with a bad manager. The company does not do a good job of getting rid of bad managers....

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
