Pros

Interesting projects and unique opportunities

Cons

Red tape, old management style, felt like working in a cave. This was the commercial/defense side. Employees were lifers or only stayed less than a year.

Pros

Good working environment Exciting projects Great coworkers (for the most part, like any place)

Cons

Like any maturing company, it has become more and more top-heavy, placing more and more emphasis on project management and milestones, sometimes over bread-and-butter engineering. I could have half the PMs I have now and do a better job
