Pros

Innovative products and a true dedication to supporting US national security

Cons

It's like working in the middle ages. Everything is controlled by a very few people at the top. Information is tightly controlled. HR is still racking and stacking employees and doling out merit raise pools.

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
