Pros

- Large company but easy to work with those from all departments - Designs and builds cool products

Cons

- Gossip among some employees (always the same ones) destroys morale, erodes trust, and causes good employees to leave - Complete lack of training for engineers. - Provides virtually no marketable technical skills even those that might be useful for other defense work - HR arbitrarily chooses to ignore very qualified candidates in favor of employee family members. - Strong biases against individual employees based on their religion, sexual orientation, and political beliefs. -Prefer to hire out-of state rather than local

Pros

- 9/80 work schedule - Good 401k - Peers in Software are knowledgeable and willing to help - Good company for entry level developers looking to start their careers

Cons

The site promotes and assigns software engineers to good projects based more on how well someone is liked rather than how well the person performs. Due to this most mid-level people with 5-8 years experience choose to leave the site after stagnating for years. This has led to a hollowed-out team that has several people with 10+ years experience, quite a few newer people with 0-3 years and very few mid level coders. Bottom line: If you haven't reached Software Engineer III by your five year anniversary go someplace else because you most likely will never reach it.
