      Pros

      The people are friendly and supportive on the whole and care about each other. Working there is good on mastery and autonomy but less good regarding purpose.

      Cons

      The management is not very professional and the people management sometimes does not seem very fair. For instance they don't seem to treat older workers as well as some other groups.

      Pros

      Easy position to attain if you have a clearance. Great temporary position when you are still looking for other positions in the IC. Exposure and networking to other companies that will appreciate you.

      Cons

      Benefits being cut. PTO being lowered. 3 years to be vested in their retirement plans.Working with folks who have no prior experience before working there. Clear favoritism when it comes to certain teams and program managers. Persuaded gov't customer to discontinue polygraph vetting to prevent employees from progressing in their IC careers. Will only permit a raise in salary once you state your intent to depart the company. They are losing contracts at an alarming rate and other current employees anticipate pay cuts when BAE underbids contracts they are re-competing for. Unprofessional relationships deteriorating mission cohesion at the customer sites.
