Pros

9/80 Schedule Used to have talented engineers but forced them to leave due to poor senior management On-site gym but they are moving soon Nice coworkers

Cons

Poor senior management Promotes and keeps workers based on hours worked instead of productivity Lays off top talent in favor of mediocre workers Hires mediocre workers only because they have a security clearance Low raises (less than 1%) Promotions based on seniority and not merit All SCIF cubes do not have access to the internet Slow to update software tools and technologies Very little automated software tests Uses Excel for software review tool Does not recognize and reward top talent No formal training

Pros

Good work life balance Projects matter for our war fighters Most co-workers are competent and dedicated More work than people, and moving to other engineering jobs is possible

Cons

Some numbskulls seem to get into senior positions. A "Consolidation" of buildings is underfunded, poorly planned, and drives chaos. The push to squeeze every nickel of efficiency means that there isn't always money for equipment or team building events (below the VP level).
