Pros

Outstanding technical talent across a broad range of disciplines. Many highly motivated young engineers with a large contingent from MIT. Senior Staff and well experienced managers from high tech industry manage to pick challenging technologies with a strategic value to the united states and the military in mmost instances. It can be a very exciting place to work if you are personnally motivated to achieve. Excellent and broad IRAD investments every year, though focused on areas of selected high leverage importance.

Cons

Difficult place to get to if you live outside the city. In need of infrastructure imporvements to match up with the big companies like Raytheon, Lockheed, BAE, Northop, boeing, etc.
