Pros

You'll stay very busy and your skills will be very challenged. Some people I worked with were very nice and pleasant.

Cons

Management expects a lot of work hours on-site and is not "motivational" in their managing style. The pay is low as compared to what else is available in the job market. The work environment in Operations (Gaithersburg) is not always enjoyable. There is a lot of finger-pointing between the Engineering Dept (Germantown) and Operations (Gaithersburg). It is like an unnecessary rivalry between two players on the same team.
