Pros

Once you get familiar with the culture and people, you realize that this is a great place to work for. Your peers and managers are very supportive of you, be it professionally or supporting you in balancing your social/family life. The work is great and very interesting, while it lasts. Also, it offers great benefits, even better than most commercial companies, like Apple, where they work you to death and offer you little compensation in return.

Cons

Because this is a Defense business, all contracts hang on the hands of politicians. If they decide to pull the plug on your contract, then most likely you'll be laid off. In other words, the work is stable as long as the contract is not taken away by politicians.

Pros

Company with a very strong pedigree and some very impressive products within the military domain. Getting to work on some very interesting areas and think about potential scenarios with the latest military hardware available.

Cons

A company that doesn't reward it's employees well enough in terms of remuneration and promotion prospects. There is the view that you need to have grey hair and decades of experience to be credible so the principles of a meritocracy are not executed well in practice.
