Pros

Apparently has good benefits -- which contractors do not receive. Supposed to be a good place from which to retire.

Cons

The low-level management in software development run the place like a sweat shop. While they are lax about what time you arrive there in the morning, or when they arrive at a meeting, the development managers stand around near the top of the stairs watching who is leaving on time near the end of what should be the work day. If you, as a developer, haven't finished some task on time, they expect you to stay there until the task is completed, even if you have to stay all night. Perhaps this explains why they have such a high turn-over of standard employees.

Poor senior management and too many middle managers Terrible performance management approach related to who you know not what you do. Good engineers are leaving because there are no promotions and the pay has fallen far behind other companies
