Pros

They have a pension, although it was 7% of salary, that has changed to something unkown. There is some interesting work if you like Defense work and you're in hardware. Not a lot for software.

Cons

The work culture is terrible. It's a very rigid place to work. Forget working from home. They have enormous attrition, but unwilling to adapt to new work environment norms. The restrictions on software packages are so limiting it is hard to get your work done. They are slow to adapt to the times. Top heavy in management. Annual performance reviews are a joke. To help attrition, they give ice cream parties and awards while not addressing the flexible schedules and work from home policies that employees are requesting.
